If you're visiting family for Easter, and they won't respect your gender, remind them that Jesus's chromosomes are canonically XX, as he inherited all of his human DNA from Mary.
Unless of course they think that Mary was actually a child-bearing XY cis woman, which is also a delightful and realistic possibility. So either Jesus is Trans or Mary is Intersex.
Or it could also be both!
Happy Easter Day of Trans Visibility!

Happy Easter and happy Trans Day of Visibility!
On this day we celebrate the beauty, resiliency, and strength of the trans community, and we celebrate the fact that the grave could not contain the Son of God.
This year more than ever, the trans community is in need of hope. With visibility comes retaliation; and we are fighting against a wave of anti-trans governmental policies across the world.
The photo was taken last night at the Great Vigil of Easter. At the Great Vigil, we light a fire to symbolize the hope of the Resurrection, and each of us sits in the dark with candles, listening to stories of hope as we wait for the moment when we can proclaim Christ’s resurrection.
I chose to use this photo to talk about the Trans Day of Visibility because we in the trans community are sitting in the dark with glimmers of hope in our hands, waiting, hoping, praying (and working) for a day when our basic human rights are no longer under attack. We are waiting for a day when all members of our community can use public bathrooms, receive medical care, have equal access to housing and employment, and so much more.
But I think the joyful dawning of Easter morning has something to say to us, too. Jesus, God’s only Son, chose to take on human flesh and live in solidarity with humanity. Just as we face political violence, so did Jesus. He was publicly executed as a political dissident, a threat to the power of empire. But even death itself could not conquer him. He rose from the grave, his body bearing the scars of the hell that could not hold him, redeeming the human condition from the hatred and cruelty, even from death itself.
In light of Jesus’ resurrection, we can rejoice that the violence against the trans community will not have the final word. Jesus rose again and is seated above all powers and governments of this world. We can (and must) stand up against state violence because God‘s love is stronger than violence, hatred, strife, and even death itself.
