So Gospel of Thomas 1.14 says, behold, I shall lead her that I may make her male in order that she also may become a living spirit like you males.
For every woman who makes herself male shall enter the kingdom of heaven.
So people are reading this now being like, was this Gospel of Thomas talking about the trans?
Were they talking about the LGBTs?
They're like, dude, what are you talking about?
You can switch your gender, yada, yada.

They would call this like a Satanist text.
They'd be like, oh, this is like inspired by the evil one that like this androgynous sort of gender mixing is, you know, completely, you know, completely heretical to what the foundations of what we understand the church to be.

I'm not a theologian.
I'm not a religious scholar.
I'm just someone that's fascinated by these texts.
We need to get someone that's an expert in all these secret gospels.
