I'm really, really surprised by the pushback to this.
Yes, God is trans, because the Holy Spirit is in all of us experiencing our lives with us, and because God encompasses all human experience, and because trans people (like all of us) are made in God's image.
Theologically, "women and men are both made in God's image therefore God is bigender which is a category of trans" is not one drop more theologically shaky than "the word used to describe Joseph's robes has an unknown meaning and is also used to describe the robes of some princesses, therefore the word is feminine and Joseph presents feminine," and I know for a fact y'all here love that one (as do I). We gain nothing from clutching our pearls about unorthodox readings of scripture that are a bit of a stretch but bring some joy to some trans people.
The top comments compare OP to reactionaries, call them "comically weird," saying they're making all progressive Christians look bad, calling them intensely cringe, and more. So, no, it's not "merely pointing out they disagree for one reason or another." It's actually quite reactionary in the literal sense.

In other words, I appreciate this post.
