In an extraordinary paper she says: “It is not possible to assert with any degree of certainty that Jesus was male as we now define maleness. “There is no way of knowing for sure that Jesus did not have one of the intersex conditions which would give him a body which appeared externally to be unremarkably male, but which might nonetheless have had some “hidden” female physical features.”

She's absolutely right!!!!

Of course, she's a little late to this meme.

It's also impossible to assert with any degree of certainty that Jesus was not a raptor.

Crucifiction was meant to humiliate and teach others a lesson on what will happen if you defy Rome. I have read that people were crucifies naked to make it even more humiliating. I would imagine someone would have noticed if Jesus were not a male.

From Wikipedia:” writings by Seneca the Younger suggest that victims were crucified completely nude.” This tells me what kind of research she must have done...or didn’t do.
