(Phoebe Carstens. New Ways Ministry)

In her contribution to Commonweal’s symposium on Dignitas Infinita, philosophy professor Maura Tumulty argues that the Vatican declaration discusses transgender people and transgender rights in a “murky and unclear” way, providing little knowledge and information in the sections titled “Gender Theory” and “Sex Change,” while at the same time including “good suggestions for addressing questions about sex, gender, and rights” in other sections.
