May God help us all if the Church's bishops are divided on something as straightforward as transgenderism.
Given that it's predicated on two false premises: (1) That God mistakenly puts a different gendered soul into the wrong body at conception, and (2) That gender is something that is divorced from its physical expression, I cannot see how the Church's shepherds can fail to see that it stands clearly in opposition to the Church's teaching and theology. To acknowledge this in no way diminishes or discriminates against people who suffer from what heretofore was called 'gender dysphoria'. It simply accurately describes the true nature of their illness for what it is and dispels the false notion that somehow we are little more than divorced or independent spirits trapped inside an inconsequential body.
