If Jesus was born from a virgin birth, doesn’t that mean he has only an X chromosome. Wouldn’t that make him female?

wait

TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS

I have taken 3 years of Theology, 1 of Apologetics, and 1 of Anatomy and Physiology and I’m honesty stumped by this one

Those species which are parthenogenic (i.e. self-fertilising, certain lizards, snakes, frogs and fish) the offspring is always genetically/physically female-typical. So yeah, if we were to take the nativity as a scientific story, a parthenogenic human pregnancy (still a scientific impossibility) would result in an AFAB child, and since that child has always been referred to as “he”, voila, trans jesus.

Actually, I think that depends on species? Like, New Mexico whiptail lizards are an entirely female all-parthenogensis all-the-time species, but Komodo dragon parthenogensis always results in males because their chromosome determination is different.

So clearly, to get to the bottom of this mystery, the first question we need to ask is what kind of reptile was Mary.

Tumblr, asking the real questions

Raptor Jesus born of a Raptor virgin.

Merry Christmas, y’all.

*nodding* solid science lads

Sex determination is a complex and fascinating field. As far as I can tell, here are our possibilities.

It seems Mary did, in fact, undergo
parthenogenesis. As stated above, offspring produced from partho varies. For example, snakes have ZW chromosomes with females being ZW
and males being ZZ, so a female can produce male OR female offspring in this way.

In addition to this, some reptiles use
temp-dependent sexing! This means it’s possible that Jesus was a male because Mary laid him in
an appropriate-temperature manger.

And then we come on to intersex conditions. For
example: Jesus could have been XX, but had congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), causing
his outward appearance to become masculinized. A myriad of other conditions could have led to a similar consequence.

So, in
conclusion: reptile Jesus, intersex Jesus and trans Jesus are all viable options, and i support a combination of the three.
