Dr Susannah Cornwall claimed that it is “simply a best guess” that Jesus was male.
Her comments, which are bound to provoke fury in some quarters, were published in response to the ongoing debate about women bishops in the Church of England. Dr Cornwall, of Manchester University’s Lincoln Theological Institute, describes herself on her blog as specialising in: “Research and writing in feminist theology, sexuality, gender, embodiment, ethics and other fun things like that.”
In her paper “Intersex & Ontology, A Response to The Church, Women Bishops and Provision”, she argues that it is not possible to know “with any certainty” that Jesus did not suffer from an intersex condition, with both male and female organs.
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.”

It is impossible to tell what moles he had too. This is laughable.
Good grief!
Isn’t it great to be an academic? You can imagine things like these, get published, and still get tenure.
And tax payers pay for her salary, while your kids sit in her classroom absorbing this.
Does her paper come in bathroom tissue size?
RE: It is impossible to tell what moles he had too. This is laughable.
That’s part 2 of her dissertation along with the color of His eyes and hair.
Fury?
No, I pity the woman.

She’ll find out for sure some terrible day.
but which might nonetheless have had some “hidden” female physical features.”
Ooooo, crypto-ovaries.
“Research and writing in feminist theology, sexuality, gender, embodiment, ethics and other fun things like that.”
Heavy on the feminism, sexuality and gender. Very light on the theology and ethics.

Great Britain is in trouble.
I think we should start burning down buildings, marching down the streets and shooting guns in the air just like our mooslem friends would do. /s

It works so well for the global warming academic industry. Why not franchise it into other areas of make-believe academia?
It is not possible to assert with any degree of certainty that Dr Susannah Cornwall has any serviceable intelligence, but folks, I think she’s provided enough clues.
Holy moly.....
unnnnbelievable the lengths some folks will go to.
Sigh.
Give us strength Lord, and guide our course.

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.
Definitively Bump worthy post by our FRiend Tijeras_Slim - “Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them.”
