Episcopal Church Backs ‘Gender Affirming Care’ for All

The Episcopal Church backed the ability of people of any age to seek “gender affirming care” at its 80th General Convention last month in Baltimore, Newsweek reported.

The resolution does not define “care,” making it appear to support gender-reassignment surgery for anyone — including minors — among other things. It calls for the church “to advocate for access to gender affirming care in all forms (social, medical, or any other) and at all ages as part of our Baptismal call to ‘respect the dignity of every human being.'”
