Joanne Herman: Can One Be Transgender and Catholic?
January 19th, 2010

http://www.londonthe.com/news/?p=4287

A recent article in the Des Moines Register reported on the firing of Susan McIntyre, a transgender social worker, from her job as a housekeeper at the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Student Center at Drake University.

What interested me about this story was not the fact that McIntyre was fired by the Bishop of Des Moines, but rather that she converted to Catholicism after her transition from male to female.
