Since the transsɛҳuąƖism issue is still ongoing at FE, I thought it was worth posting a question that I hadn't seen posed before.
Concerning the stance that FE has taken on transsɛҳuąƖs and sex-change surgery...
Do you think Vox understands that sex-change surgery does not produce a *functional* individual?
Reading her posts about the subject, I get the distinct feeling that she is imagining a human with a penis and testicles who (with sub secretum Vatican permission) has the penis and testicles removed and somehow is given a functional uterus and ovaries via surgery...resulting in a functional female who is now eligible for marriage to a male.
Or, vice versa, a person who has ovaries and uterus and vagina removed and is given a working penis and testicles that result in a functional male capable of inseminating a female.
This, of course, does not exist on Earth. All that exists are cosmetic surgeries that produce external visual facsimiles - non functional ones. People who undergo these procedures will never be eligible for a Catholic marriage again. No longer able to in fact consummate a marriage, if they were ever able, they are now in a canonical limbo, unable to marry...and so what was the point?
