This week we looked at our second of three lenses, “divinity,” the lens concerned with the sacredness of God and his world. We again affirmed the biblical stance of two genders but discussed the difficulties in asking, “Is trans a sin?” due to various understandings of both transgenderism and categories of sin. We looked at our theological space for gender incongruence as a possible result of creation’s corruption in Romans 8, and ended with a practical discussion of varying views on using one’s preferred pronouns informed by 1 Corinthians 8.
