Maybe it's just me, but the stuff the article talked about didn't seem all that revolutionary. Like, transgender people can be baptized, be godparents, and witness marriages? Yeah of course, they're people, and grace is available to them just like it is to everybody else.
Obviously a godparent, for instance, should be striving to live an exemplary Christian life, but perhaps it is worth reaffirming that transgenderism in the past doesn't exclude a person from repentance and Christian virtue now.
