They describe themselves as non-binary and genderqueer but also say that the phrase “from maleness to femaleness” in Genesis provoked an epiphany.

To be non binary, you have to believe other men and women fit “the binary” ie the gender stereotypes imposed by society (except for bingo of course who is special & not like the other girls/boys).

Ive patience with NB in teenagers and understand the challenge of puberty & navigating your way towards adulthood. In an adult parent of three it’s just deeply tedious

I'm most shocked by the fact that either their parents named them Bingo or they chose their name themselves.

The only time I've heard someone being called Bingo it wasnt a human but a Labrador

Saw this the other day. Seems apt in relation to this person

They came out seven years ago, they haven't 'just declared' it. And even if they had, how can you ascertain they have 'no personality' from that article? Seems a little negative about someone you don't even know and even haven't met, just based on 'declaring' their gender?

Vicar - read priest, sorry

So there's a non binary vicar? So what's the problem here, it doesn't seem to be a safeguarding issue, what space are they trying to get into?
It's literally an article on a vicar being non binary

The Mail reports:

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11591517/Britains-non-binary-CofE-priest-says-God-guided-truth.html

"Bingo is now vocal about gender issues and uses social media to spread their message – including posting selfies with captions saying Jesus 'loves sparkly eyeshadow'."

Which would perhaps point to a less than firm grip on Bible-related matters, be they Genesis or others.

To me this reads as if they had the epiphany that there is a spectrum between maleness and femaleness and that's where they felt they sat. There's nothing wrong with that, lots of people do.

Just what the CofE needs. Poor kids. It's pretty tough being a vicar's kid.

I also read about this geezer in the news today.
