"Dignitas Infinita: Vatican's Stance on Gender-Affirming Surgeries and Transgender Catholics"

The Vatican's new document "Dignitas Infinita" has sparked concern among LGBTQ+ parishioners and allies due to its criticism of gender-affirming procedures and emphasis on a binary view of gender. Despite Pope Francis's efforts to make the Catholic Church more inclusive, the document's conservative views on trans rights have been seen as a setback. LGBTQ+ advocates fear it could fuel discrimination and contribute to global rhetoric curtailing trans rights, especially as political attacks on trans people have increased.
