It's Easter weekend -- what a perfect time to enjoy thinking about mortal human bodies.
This culture war is so fckng dumb.
It's dumb that so many people in the USA align themselves with their chosen political side while dismissing the other big moneyed party as hopelessly terrible. It's dumb that people who align themselves with the so-called conservative side say asinine shit about "values" and what they call "wokeness." It's dumb that people who align themselves with the so-called liberal side can't say one goddamn thing about the topic without sputtering clichés and twisting themselves into self-contradicting contortions of logic.
It is so so so so dumb that media coverage is a joke and that the things people write obfuscate and deny reality. (On "both sides"! 😅😡)
It is so so so so so so dumb when you want males to play/ compete in women's sports.
It is so so so so so so so so so so so so so dumb when you pretend you are not your body.
"He is not here, for He has risen."
- some Bible verses
You know what wasn't in the tomb? His. Body.
It's a story about a mystifying wacky event that gave us a world-spanning religion. The religion spends a lot of time on souls and imaginary things and not making sense, and the Easter weekend story is grisly af (pounding nails into flesh = now I can forgive you), but if resurrection doctrine gets one thing right, it understands that everybody is a body.
On the other hand, gender religion is more like all the rest of Christianity and spends time doing torturous mental gymnastics to try to convince everybody that the imagined immaterial soul inside them is what really counts. Only, it's also randomly male or female. You know, like a body. Could have got in the wrong one, though. Whoopsies! So gender religion is then like, hey! your body doesn't have to be your body, so to fix that we'll do a bunch of stuff to... your body.
You are here (on Earth - I would say "here in reality" but some of y'all do your level best not to dwell much in reality at all) because your human body was born. (Side note: born. An embryo is not an alive person.) You are your body. That's you!
You know who will never ever ever have women's bodies? Men. They do like to use and control our bodies, though.
