Truth and fiction.

"Him" by Geoff Ryman is a thought-provoking novel that reimagines Jesus as a transgender man. The story takes place in a world that is familiar from Bible stories, with dusty towns, poverty, and leprosy. The main perspective is that of Yehush's mother, Maryam, who struggles to accept her son's declaration of manhood. The book explores themes of gender and divinity, challenging traditional ways of thinking. While the novel is labeled as science fiction, it is more accurately described as historical fiction or fantasy. [Extracted from the article]
