A Catholic Perspective on Gender Identity
April 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Two-Part Workshop in English
April 3 & 10 | 7pm – 8:30pm
In the past decade, there has been increased attention paid to gender dysphoria and gender discordance, especially among young children and adolescents. This is coupled with the widespread notion that the solution to such dysphoria is to affirm one’s “experienced gender” over and against one’s biological sex. What does the Catholic Church teach about these issues and how do we, the faithful, respond?
Deacon Tom Walter, PhD, will present a two-part workshop that aims to provide parents, grandparents, and guardians of children and adolescents with information about these global and national trends, as well as a proper understanding of Church teaching regarding gender identity, in recognition of the pastoral sensitivities regarding this matter, and the real and profound struggles individuals of good will face.
