Students at a private college just outside Philadelphia will soon be able to take a class that “destabilizes long held assumptions” about the Christian faith called “Queering the Bible.”
Swarthmore College, founded in 1864, plans to usher in 2017 with a religious course that inculcates students with “queer and trans readings of biblical texts.” The one-credit class, first reported Friday by The College Fix, promises to deliver a “complexity of constructions of sex, gender and identity in one of the most influential literary works produced in ancient times.”
“This class destabilizes long held assumptions about what the bible — and religion — says about gender and sexuality,” a summary on the college’s website reads.
The educational watchdog said it could find no other Bible-based classes in 2018 at the school, although one class covered grammar and vocabulary necessary to read the Old Testament in its original Hebrew.

There were very very few people in 50AD who had sex change operations so I don't believe the transgender personality disorder patients have much of a ground here for relevance to the New Testament. As for the overtly sex behavior deviants, they were usually stoned in the first century by regular people who were repulsed by their presence. Pretty sure not many of them were "out of the closet" in the early days. Just saying.
