The new policies include a measure to annotate trans members’ records, grouping them with members who have committed sexual violence or child abuse.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known widely as the Mormon church, issued a slew of new policies this week expanding its restrictions on transgender members.
The policies, released Monday, include rules barring trans people from working with children, becoming priests and serving as teachers. The church also expanded on an existing rule that barred trans people from being baptized.
Trans members will also face possible annotation on their membership records, grouping them with churchgoers who have committed incest, sexual predatory behavior, sexual violence against children and embezzlement of church funds.
Until a lawsuit happens and senior members of the church have a magic moment and change their minds?
God famously changed his mind about black folks, why not trans ones?
LDS Church in 2079: “Okay, okay, God is trans actually.”
