    Guys! Look at this translation of a translation of a translation that was written by people like me that supports my argument!!

    What do these people think they’re proving by quoting “the” Bible? There are no surviving original texts, and they sure as fuck weren’t written in English. The guys who translated it weren’t without their own agendas, either.

      You’re actually saying that the hebrew doesn’t say the same thing? That’s not a relevant argument, as it doesn’t matter what its stance on trans people is, as its opinion doesn’t matter anyway.

      To be fair most modern publications of the bible are actually quite direct from the sauce, the NSRVUE in particular is a truly ecumenical source intended to provide an academic translation from the recent discoveries of the oldest sources currently available, including finds like the dead sea scrolls.
