Boston U. students to study ‘gender fluid angels’ in ‘Medieval Trans Studies’ class

‘In the Middle Ages there was no rational doubt that humans were created only male and female,’ one scholar responded

Boston University is offering a graduate-level “Medieval Trans Studies” course for the upcoming spring semester that explores how “medieval texts speak to the historical, theoretical, and political concerns that animate contemporary trans studies.”

The course has drawn criticism from scholars who argue that it reflects modern ideological biases rather than historical accuracy.

It considers “the deep histories of transgender embodiment” through an examination of texts stemming from the Middle Ages, according to the course description.

Students will read about “alchemical hermaphrodites, genderfluid angels, Ethiopian eunuchs, trans saints, sex workers, and genderqueer monks,” according to the university.

...at least it's not Boston College (Jesuit)

 

[RileyG]

Just no.

uhhh last time I checked angels don't have a gender because they don't have a physical body, although some are personified as male such as the three Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.

That ain't saying much, considering the state of the Jesuit Order.

We in MA have new laws for 2025, that show how immoral the state has become.

"Boston — Governor Maura Healey signed an Act to ensure legal parentage equality, which updates the state’s parentage laws for the first time in 40 years to make them more inclusive. This historic legislation ensures the rights and protections for parents who use surrogacy, in-vitro fertilization and assisted reproduction, while also updating the law to be more inclusive to LGBTQ+ parents."

The Newman Guide Catholic colleges and universities are doing well, as opposed to these clowns. The Newman Guide - Cardinal Newman Society

I won't say which college I graduated from because it would be VERY EASY to get my personal information based on my first name alone, but I doubt the Newman Guide would recommend them.

Right. Don't provide personal info.

The Newman Guide is very selective for faithful Catholic schools. I went to a secular university but I wonder how I would have turned out at a Newman Guide kind of school. But for the most part Newman Guide sorts of schools are newer creations that didn't exist back then, or like Steubenville were floundering before being reinvented as a faithful Catholic college.

The bible teaches angels do not marry ... it is through marriage that a man and woman become one, the purpose of that was for the purpose of procreation of which God gave to humans ... no where in the bible does it state that angels can reproduce ... angels are a different type of being ....

Angels are spirits. They do not have the ability, sexual hormones, to have an affair with human beings. In order for them to sexually take advantage of man or woman, they would have to possess a human being. God did not gave them the ability to fall in love, the way humans do, naturally. Humans are influenced by spiritual beings ... either towards good or bad ... it's a battle for the mind.

According to the Bible, the mind is spiritual and can be transformed through the Holy Spirit:

• Romans 8:6
  "For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace". This verse is a cornerstone of Christian teaching.
  
  
• Ephesians 4:23-32
  "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness".
