Changes

  “Jesus is not suggesting a sex-change operation, but is using 'male' and 'female' metaphorically to refer to the higher and lower aspects of human nature. Mary is thus to undergo a spiritual transformation from her earthly, material, passionate nature (she is a free thinking human which is ultimately a danger to power hungry men) to a heavenly, spiritual, intellectual nature (which the evangelist equates with the male, however males have historically proven time and time again that they are the least intellectual, more rash and violent sex).” ''(Funk and Hoover 532)
