In response to the bus campaign of Hazte Oír promoting a traditional view of gender with the slogans "Boys have penises; girls have vulvas. Do not be deceived," Mongolia magazine used an image of a transgender Jesus as its cover image. The magazine cover also has slogans such as “God has a penis” and “God has a vulva” (“Dios tiene pene” and Dios tiene vulva”).

It is not the first time that the magazine has used religious symbols to mock Christians.
In July 2016, at the height of events related to "Gay Pride Day," Mongolia used the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with the title "Viva Cristo Gay!"
