At completed odds to the conventional dogmas most of us grew up with, is this from the Gospel of Thomas 22: Jesus said to them: “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside and the above like the below —
(5) that is, to make the male and the female into a single one, so that the male will not be male and the female will not be female —
... (7) then you will enter [the kingdom].”
Patriarchy has hurt all of us, regardless of gender. But it has reached new lows, it seems to me and is actively weaponizing male sexuality. When many young women's first sexual experiences are date-rape and or/other forms of violence that their mothers never even heard of, which have suddenly exploded, it is clear change is long overdue. May the common ground shared by women and gays be the fertile ground from which hope and newness springs, and may it be so powerful and pervasive that it will ultimately heal everyone - regardless of sex, sexuality and gender - who has lost sight of the sacred that is ever present in each one of us.
Fuck yes. This.

I love this logion from Thomas! I remember being gobsmacked when I first read it. Also, can we get a church of Kate together? I’d show up.
Maybe we could run it together: the Church of Being Gob-smacked... or God-smacked, possibly.
Swoon and Hallelujah! You’re a genius priestess and I’m so grateful to know you♥️💄🌹⚔️
Brilliant. As always. And you ain’t NOBODY’s Stanford. 💅
Thanks, peaches. I was devastated. 😂
