Link: Church of England issues transgender advice for clergy
I am sorry to bring up what may be a difficult issue, and I recognize that the document is not about any kind of re-baptism. Neither do I mean any kind of insult to Anglicans or to anyone in the CofE.
But I would like to ask those of you more familiar with Anglican praxis than I am (which I guess is everyone here) how you understand this.
My first anxious thought, which I mentioned in OBOB, is "what about people who want to de-transition?" What will be considered to have happened in such a ceremony once they give up on what they felt sure about?
But I wanted to ask here about an Anglican perspective on this, or for more info, even if the document is very new.
