Early Christian cross-dressing monks are being reclaimed as possible transgender or LGBTQ saints. They share a similar story: They escaped their lives as women and lived as men, joining monasteries or becoming religious hermits. Their biological sex was usually discovered by shocked communities after they died. The church honors these queer saints for living holy lives, despite the Biblical prohibitions against cross-dressing.
