Christ is an artist and poet who is local to the library, African-American and transsexual. The media refers to Christ as "he," but there's no confirmation on how zie identifies, so I'll be using the gender-neutral pronouns of "zie" and "hir" until that is clearer.
The situation is ripe for joking, of course, and that's the only reason the media reports this story at all. And while there may be signs that Christ is eccentric, those of us who don't know hir are not qualified to comment positively or negatively on that. But in the meantime, something is still wrong.
