Rachel Mann was one of the witnesses on the recent Moral Maze programme. Here is the Radio Times blurb for the upcoming talk:

"Anglican priest Rachel Mann reflects on the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and on her journey of identity as a trans woman."

Does anyone else find that juxtaposition a little....I can't quite find the appropriate word... Shock

Trying to think of the last time a day went by when this crap wasn't shoved down our throats.

I know! Your comment really resonates with me. I read this from the bbc Long Reads section earlier in the week, "I hated my homophobic stepdad, then he came out" and suddenly it morphed into a trans story, with similar narcissism.

Apparently the programmers of Radio 4 'know no bounds'

Confused just wow. The narcissism knows no bounds.

As an atheist, I find those words totally insulting, as if you can compare choosing a path in life where you demand others accepting you without question, to one where someone is constantly vilified, tortured by the authorities and then crucified.

To say I am sick of this is an understatement.

The transcript of the recent Moral Maze featuring the Revd Mann is telling:
