The Definition of Non-Binary
From Webster’s Dictionary:
Non-binary – relating to or being a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that is neither entirely male nor entirely female.
Seems straight forward enough, right.
Basically, if you are non-binary, you don’t identify exclusively as a man or a woman.
And since God is spirit, it would stand to reason that God is non-binary.
So… on to the next topic… right?
Uhhh… guess not…
A lot of folks seem to have their panties in a wad due to the statement made by James Talarico in 2021 during a Texas House floor debate. The complete sentence he made was “God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between. God is nonbinary”.
So, on to the next subject…
(sigh…)
Okay, I fail to understand the problem here.
I suspect that some folks may think that non-binary has to do with sexuality, which it does not.
It speaks only to whether you identify as a man, or as a woman.
And again, God is spirit.
The notion that gender identity and sexuality are the same thing is not correct. You can be straight, bi, gay, questioning, anything at all, and still be non-binary. It’s just how you identify.
I can hear folks saying things like “God made you a man (or a woman). You can’t change this.”
or…
“You cannot identify as a plushy.” (Honestly, if you do, good for you. Being a human right now is a pretty screwed up thing)
That is a completely different subject, and does not deal with the statement that:
God is Non-Binary
Please, let’s stop dragging other scenarios into the discussion, as an attempt to distract everyone from the actual point.
Now, I suppose, for some, God needs to be a man/masculine (and I assume white as well).
No… please stop…
God does not need a pee-pee and chest hair to be the almighty one.
I mean… that’s just weird folks… really. God is supposed to be warm and fuzzy, not three legged and fury.
Which would make a great argument for God being a woman, but alas, and I say this once again…
God is Non-Binary
So, let’s get back to the actual point.
James Talarico made a statement of fact, plain and simple. You really don’t need to dispute it, but is you need to, go ahead. It’s your life.
But as for the rest of us, let’s move on to a new subject.
