>>4621Not sure what you mean by the double cross stuff.
I'm reminded of how the skull and crossbones represents Adam/immortality and the tradition is that Adam was buried beneath the true cross (which is also the tree of life). Also isn't the inverted cross representative of St. Peter and the church, the body of Christ on earth?
I just think the double cross symbolism focuses on a wholeness and unity of opposites that I am opposed to. IMO transgender people are not the androgynous glue between man and woman but the uncrossable aporia. Transgender people are precisely the opposite of the androgyne. The androgyne creates gender and transgender people destroy it. Mary Daly completely gets this one wrong in particular.
The thing about theology is that it is focused on the divine when really religion is about man's relation to the divine. If horses prayed then their gods would be shaped like horses and there is nothing wrong with that. Man is full of flaws, fractures and schisms. Man is spiritually empty and uncertain and questioning. Man is a partial thing, unfired and not whole.
The nature of man is to be the withdrawal of the withdrawal. It is in this way that man fulfils his mission as co-creator in the image of God. God made me flawed so that he might permit me to make myself good. The diagnosis of trans existence as mortal and profane is simply the human condition in general.
In general, I am opposed to transhumanism (including the idolatry of trying to make the body sacred).
What you have to understand is that there are four genders: man, woman, priest and whore. Priest being the authority over the feudal order of man and woman, and whore being its capitalist negation. Transhumanism is the priestly project and transgenderism is the whorrifying project.
To be clear, I do not mean a simple subversism. The family is rape as a small-business and pornography is industrial rape. The transgender woman is no more transgressive than the cisgender woman is. Both are ultimately a kind of transgressive whore.
I see the trans mission in terms of compulsory sociality and the construction of an/ecology. An/ecology is the absence of an ecology, the impairment of social relations. The body speaks its own language in its failure to act as the will directs. It's a disability sort of thing like autism or like a tic or stem. I think you might like Melanie Yergeau's "Authoring Autism."
