Vatican says ‘sex-change’ surgery risks threatening human ‘dignity’

==========

A Vatican document titled 'Dignitas infinita' warns that gender-affirming operations risk threatening human dignity and denounces attempts to obscure the sexual difference between man and woman. The document does not undo Pope Francis's more inclusive measures, but it separates the need to provide outreach to transgender people from the act of obtaining gender-affirming surgery. The Vatican also takes aim at gender theory, exalts heterosexuality, opposes surrogate pregnancies, and condemns euthanasia and assisted suicide. The document focuses on poverty, rising inequality, and the hoarding of wealth by corporations. It argues that the modern world has not truly reduced poverty and criticizes the obsession with reducing labor costs without concern for the consequences.
