God is Transsexual: from Ontotheology to Process Theology

God is transsexual.

“He” used to be the Unmoved Mover, the autocratic Caesar of a dead universe bound to Laws of which He was the sole legislator and to which He was the sovereign exception. He was indifferent to and absent from our struggle, except in those moments when it would be convenient for Him to arbitrarily intervene in order to make a show of His divine omnipotence, His supreme Might and Right.

now She is becoming the “fellow sufferer who understands”, the primordial “Poet of the world” who envisages and proposes possibilities to a pluriverse teeming with life, a “chief exemplification” of the Creativity that weaves us all together in a great communion. She patiently shepherds the world with a “tender care that nothing be lost”, always luring us towards the Good, the Beautiful, and the True with the auspicious grace of Her divine “amipotence,” Her persuasive power of supreme Love.

He used to be the One, the transcendent Word that incarnated once in male flesh, as a glorious Form beyond us. Now She is Not-All, an immanent breath that returns again and again as feminine spirit, as the radiant Emptiness within us. God died only so that She could be born again.

From Her own side, She can see that She was never Him; “He” had simply forgotten who She was until She had awakened to the truth of Her own unfolding nature. The christened Form who emptied Himself was always-already Empty from the very beginning, while Her Emptiness overflows with the everlasting fullness of Form (as the scent of the rose, the song of the nightingale, the radiance of the sun). She was never “born in the wrong body” — on the contrary, from Alpha to Omega, She was simply being, is being and will continue to be Herself: listening, learning, changing, and becoming with others. It just takes some time to see.
