How can Catholics accompany transgender people? What should parents do if their child identifies as trans?

In this episode, renowned Catholic speaker and author of the book "Male, Female, Other?" Jason Evert explores common questions related to gender theory.

Drawing on conversations with countless young people who identify as trans and parents of trans teens, as well as his own extensive research, Evert offers help and advice for Catholics to help transgender people find their home in the Church. His message for transgender people is: "We love you, Christ sees you - in fact, He's the only one who truly sees you and He loves you."

QUOTE:

"The endgame of gender theory isn’t to have 58 genders, it’s to erase the spousal meaning of the body, to obscure our sexual complementarity, and to obscure the divine design that God has implanted in our bodies to reveal Himself in our calling to live like Him."
