How Catholics and Evangelicals view Gender identity

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Catholic View on Gender Identity:

The Catholic Church views gender as a biological reality, determined by God at birth. The Church teaches that individuals must accept their biological sex and that gender identity is not a matter of personal choice or preference. The Church also teaches that gender complementarity is essential for the family and society’s well-being, with men and women possessing different, but complementary roles in society.

Evangelical View on Gender Identity:

Evangelical Christians believe that gender is also a biological reality, with one’s sex determined by God. However, some Evangelicals also believe that individuals can experience gender dysphoria, a condition that causes individuals to feel trapped in the wrong body. In response, some Evangelicals support therapy and counseling to help those with gender dysphoria accept their biological sex. Others advocate for more compassionate treatment and support for those who identify as transgender, while still affirming traditional views on male and female gender roles.
