Church Endorses Transitions for Transgender Children 'at All Ages'
gender-affirming care would be accepted and supported by the church, a move that has sparked great debate on social media.The 80th General Convention met in Baltimore, Maryland, in July.
The General Convention considered 412 resolutions, including Resolution D066 endorsing gender-affirming care, one of several controversial resolutions passed.Shortly after the resolution's approval, TransEpiscopal posted a blog on its website approving the act."In the current political climate, the trans and non-binary community is being targeted," the post said. "In 2021, there were over 290 anti LGBTIQ bills introduced in various states across the county, twenty-five of which became law.
Eight of those laws targeted trans and non-binary people. 2022 is on track to surpass this number."TransEpiscopal condemned legislators targeting bills at trans and nonbinary youth.
The site called out Texas Governor Greg Abbott and his direction to the state's Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate for child abuse parents who supported gender-affirming care for their children.
