But, most people misunderstand the "immaculate conception". The Immaculate conception refers to the conception of Mary through her mother St. Anne. Jesus was conceived by virginal conception.
Let's think about that:
From Wikipedia:
“The virgin birth of Jesus is the belief that Jesus was conceived in the womb of his mother Mary through the Holy Spirit without the agency of a human father and born while Mary was yet a virgin"
So, Mary was visited by the Holy Spirit ( Matthew tells us ) also known as the Holy Ghost, Ghosts are incorporeal and therefore cannot provide the genetic material required to produce a baby, OR, Mary was visited by the Angel Gabriel ( according to Luke) who said “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.” Both stories imply parthenogenesis.
Parthenogenesis is most simply defined as reproduction without fertilization. More specifically, it occurs when a female gamete develops a new individual without being fertilized by a male gamete. Parthenogenetic offspring are always of an XX chromosomal make up, female.
Therefore Jesus was born a girl who lived life as a transgender man…..
