the book of job can be a very queer book actually. it's all about how you can't actually just hold to theological propositions totally divorced from reality and personal experience bc you think the world doesn't make sense otherwise. it's about clinging to your own righteousness even as your 'friends' try to drag your name into the dirt bc it threatens their elaborate theological diorama of the world where everything is nice and neat. it's about how pain and suffering is not a punishment for something wrong with you. and it's about struggling with God, and understanding that in the end we know nothing and can say nothing, and yet if we resolve to speak our truth perhaps in the end we can be judged to have spoken rightly of God like his servant Job.

Medievalists speculate that the wound, pictured as a slit in Jesus’s side emitting blood and clear liquid, led some mystics to imagine other bodily slits that emanate blood and clear fluids. [...] Additionally, the blood of Jesus’s wounds is said to bring forth life; likewise, life is brought forth through the blood-discharging female sexual organ.

The idea of Jesus’s side wound being like a womb then led to artists showing a female — either baby or adult — being birthed from that wound. The birthed human is the Church, born through the life-giving blood of the Son of God … delivered through Jesus’s vagina. Jesus, then, becomes gender non-binary, bearing both male and female sexual organs.
