"But one of the things not mentioned is that the Vatican was being advised by a 30 year enemy of the transgender community: Dr. Paul McHugh.

A man with a personal axe to grind against transgender people got himself named as an advisor to the Vatican. He has used that position to turn the Catholic Church into an intolerant bastion of transphobia, at least at the leadership level.

Yes, the same Dr. Paul McHugh who has much Hateraid [sic] for transgender people and takes credit for killing the Johns Hopkins Gender Clinic. "

Being the people of The Inquisition, (12th through 16th centuries) one can say that they have never been all that into diversity, difference, or tolerance.

However, if you google the word inquisition, Monty Python is in the top five hits.  So we're making progress.


Cardinal Fang, bring out.... The Comfy Chair!

Really, what other institutions from 1 C.E. matter anymore?  So how come these guys do?

Thanks so much for this information. I sent the article to my Catholic Mom who has disowned me because I transitioned. I added "please support Dignity."
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

Dignity is just a bunch of people who want all of the Catholic Church minus one rule.  Bah, humbug.  Support science and heavy metal music.
