A 20-page document says Germany’s Catholic schools should respect and make more visible students who are ‘non-binary’ and ‘non-heterosexual.’
The heretical German bishops are planning to introduce guidelines for Catholic schools promoting radical gender ideology without questioning its horrendous consequences for children.
The German Catholic News Agency (KNA) reports that the Catholic bishops, or more precisely, their school commission headed by Bishop Heinrich Timmerevers, are preparing a 20-page document on “sexual diversity” for Catholic schools.
The paper says schools should respect and make more visible students who are “non-binary” and “non-heterosexual.” It states that it is essential to “identify and reduce existing irritations and uncertainties in dealing with the diversity of sexual identity.”
The text, which has not yet been finalized and therefore not yet published, draws attention to the fact that many “queer students” go through years of painful inner insecurity and doubt. According to KNA, the paper denounces “queerphobic prejudice, discrimination, and bullying” against those students.
The paper was allegedly a response to a survey of 2,000 students, teachers, and parents at Catholic schools regarding “diversity of sexual identities.” In the survey conducted by the Berlin Institute for Christian Ethics and Politics, about 20 percent said they had experienced or observed discrimination against “homosexual, trans, or non-binary, i.e., queer, students,” KNA reports.
The text is based on the assumption that “gender identity” and sexual orientation cannot be arbitrarily shaped or chosen. However, it also claims that children can repeatedly experience “incongruities” in their “gender identity” until puberty, meaning that they are uncertain about their physical and emotional “gender identity” revealing the apparent contradiction within gender ideology.
The paper does not take a position on whether or not hormone injections or mutilating surgeries are an appropriate response for individuals who experience gender dysphoria.
