    Meanwhile apocryphal Jesus was like:

    Jesus said to them, “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom].”

    • Gospel of Thomas saying 22

    Or

    For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven.

    • Gospel of Thomas saying 114 (likely a much later addition to the text reflecting later air of misogyny, but still)
