The legend of Pope Joan

the long version

Joan, now living as a seminarian in Athens, starts to grow up and embrace what it really means to live as a man for good. She works diligently to look, think, and 'feel' like a male -- as simply being a 'woman in disguise' would be too dangerous and doomed to fail. Although this process is challenging, her overarching desire to become a scholarly priest also appears to be God's will for her, so the sacrifice of her femininity feels worth it. But when Joan meets a young woman named Thea, every decision she has made thus far is called into question.
