Using they/them when referring to the Christian god. Perfect.
Yep. I figure God can put their pronouns in a quick update (no doubt written in flames on a wall somewhere - basic courtesy, nowadays), or is probably content with the neutral terms.
The Bible wasn't written with gendered pronouns. Although God did choose to become a man, so I think this justifies the He/Him pronouns
Jesus was trans. He identified as male, but given the circumstances of his birth, he could only have X chromosomes...
This gives another point- Jesus must have gotten the Y chromosome from the Holy Spirit, so the Holy Spirit must also be male. Referred to God the Father as "Father", too. So the whole Trinity is male, therefore the Christian God can't really be described as not Male.
