The same Discord that had an ID leak 4 months ago?
1.5TB of data and 2 million government ID Photos extorted.
I'm sure this will go well....
They always lie when they say IDs won't be stored on their servers.
Do NOT believe them

@DiscussingFilm important reminder that discord promised its users that face scans and id images were processed locally on the device and were deleted immediately after verification. they then got hacked and 70,000 people, including children had their face, names, emails, and payment info leaked

@daniellismore Gender non-conforming fine, but these saints were not claiming to actually be men/ it would have been impossible to have undergone any form of medical transition. Monasteries in the early centuries were quite often mixed- Whitby under St Hilda, for example.

Why Transgender Saints Were Recognised in Christian History
Historical Christian sources record several saints whose lives included sustained social gender transition and whose identities were recognised rather than erased within religious tradition. These figures were canonised not in spite of their gender presentation but with it documented as part of their spiritual life.
Early Christian hagiographies describe saints such as Saint Eugenia of Rome, Saint Marina the Monk, and Saint Euphrosyne of Alexandria as individuals who lived for years or decades presenting as men within monastic communities. These accounts were preserved by the Church and became part of official saintly narratives.
In the case of Saint Eugenia of Rome, early texts describe her entering a monastery under a male identity and living as a monk. Saint Marina lived her entire religious life as a monk and was known as such by her community. Saint Euphrosyne lived in a male monastery under a male name and was revered for her ascetic discipline and holiness. In each case, their gender presentation was known within the tradition and recorded rather than denied.
These saints were celebrated because early Christian theology placed significant emphasis on renunciation of worldly roles in pursuit of spiritual devotion. Gender transition in these narratives was interpreted as part of a broader rejection of social status, family expectations, and prescribed gender roles. Movement between gender categories was often framed symbolically as leaving behind the secular world rather than as moral transgression.
Importantly, these figures were not posthumously reclassified to erase their lived identities. Their stories continued to describe their lives as they were lived. The Church preserved these accounts as examples of holiness, discipline, and faith rather than treating gender variance as disqualifying.
Scholars of early Christianity note that gender was not always understood in strictly biological or binary terms in late antiquity. Spiritual identity, social role, and religious vocation were often considered more significant than bodily classification. Within that context, gender-variant lives could be understood as spiritually meaningful rather than threatening.
The existence of transgender and gender nonconforming saints demonstrates that gender diversity is not a modern invention and that Christian history contains documented examples of trans lives being honoured rather than condemned. These records challenge contemporary claims that transgender identity is incompatible with faith or foreign to religious tradition.
The canonisation of these saints reflects the historical reality that transgender people have existed across cultures and centuries and that their lives have, at times, been recognised as holy, exemplary, and worthy of reverence within Christianity.
