"God Doesn't Make Mistakes" - Gender Dysphoria and Pascal's Wager

One of the more beautiful aspects of Catholicism is the deep integration of gender roles into the theology of the Church. It may be that there will be no husbands and wives in the kingdom heaven, but until that point, the Church will be festooned with linked images of man and wife. Gender is a fundamental concept in Catholic Theology, one of the "real symbols" which represents and "is" a higher truth.  The Church is the Bride of Christ, the Marriage is a microcosm of the relationship between God and Man, Christ's Sacrifice repairs the fundamental damage to the male-female relationship done by The Fall,
where it all started, for us, anyway.

That didn't go where I was expecting. I'm glad he explicitly stepped away from the nonsensical idea that trans people can't exist because "god doesn't make mistakes."
