The Desire for a Sex Change

How should the Catholic community respond to men and women who think that a sex change operation would solve their problem? Catholic teaching in this area is clear.

The New Atlantis: Sexuality & Gender Issue, Number 50 Fall 2016

Examining research from the biological, psychological, and social sciences, this report shows that some of the most frequently heard claims about sexuality and gender are not supported by scientific evidence. The report has a special focus on the higher rates of mental health problems among LGBT populations, and it questions the scientific basis of trends in the treatment of children who do not identify with their biological sex. More effort is called for to provide these people with the understanding, care, and support they need to lead healthy, flourishing lives.

Transgender Surgery Isn’t the Solution

At the heart of the problem is confusion over the nature of the transgendered. "Sex change" is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women.
