Transgender Catholics and a welcoming priest express disappointment with a new Vatican document rejecting the concept of changing one's biological sex, despite recent moves by Pope Francis that had encouraged hope for greater acceptance. The document's failure to use the word "transgender" and its admonition against gender-affirming surgery have been met with dismay and concern, with some expressing hope for future recognition and understanding from the Catholic Church.
