Today is the first Sunday since the Vatican rejected transgender people
The most likely short-term result of 'Male and Female He Created Them' will be to provide ammunition for Catholics who would deny the reality of the transgender experience, who would label transgender people as simple ideologues, and who would deny their real-life experiences. It will most likely contribute to a greater feeling of isolation, a greater feeling of shame and a greater marginalization of those who are already marginalized in their own church: transgender people.
No. In fact, the document recommends the church be open to discussions with LGBTQ folks and their allies, although it must be noted, to the Vatican they are"proponents" of an ideology which they call “gender theory.” Still, the document acknowledges the Church has discriminated against those whose gender identity varies from what it considers the norm, and encourages educators to avoid doing so going forward.
Anyone with any significant first-hand experience with transgender individuals would be baffled by the suggestion that trans people are somehow the result of an ideology. It is a historical fact that long before there were gender studies programs in any university or the phrase gender ideology was ever spoken, transgender people were present, recognized, and even valued in some cultures around the world.
