Catholic bishops vote to create trans guidelines - The Washington Post

The Doctrine Committee, which will draft proposed revisions, in March issued a kind of position paper called "The Moral Limits to Technological Manipulation of the Human Body." The 14-page paper, which uses the word "order" 45 times, says a core tenet of Christianity is that there is a God-crafted natural order, and that "sexually differentiated" male and female bodies are part of it. 

Contemporary interventions to alter the body "for what is termed 'gender dysphoria' or 'gender incongruence,'" the paper says, are "not morally justified … they do not repair a defect in the body; there is no disorder in the body that needs to be addressed. 

"Such interventions, thus, do not respect the fundamental order of the human person as an intrinsic unity of body and soul, with a body that is sexually differentiated. … Catholic heath care services must not perform interventions, whether surgical or chemical, that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex."…https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2023/06/16/catholic-bishops-trans-health/
