Transgender & intersex persons are likewise made into a spectacle. Our bodies & private medical histories are broadcasted. New laws attempt to strip us of our God-given free will, denying us the autonomy to respond to God's invitation to participate in the ongoing creative act that is embodied life.

If you dared to resist the Roman Empire, you knew what end awaited you: You'd be stripped bare before a crowd and suffocated on a cross, your naked, battered flesh twisted into a warning to others to comply — or die.

This is how modern Empire functions as well. #crucifixion #godoftheoppressed
