    For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.

    Matthew 19:12

      I mean… That’s a start. But what about the ones that can’t seem to accept it?

      I don’t know enough about transgender people in ancient times to argue about the definition of “eununch”. Thanks for your contribution, though.

        Matthew was written about 80 CE. Nero was emperor until 68. Nero rather famously took a eunuch as a “wife”, Sporus, which most in the Roman empire and likely the author of Matthew would have been aware of.
