    Perspektiven auf das Phänomen „Transsexualität“
    Marschütz, Gerhard (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2016)
    The phenomenon of „transsexuality“ can be viewed, analyzed and studied from different perspectives. Each accepted perspective, that is historical, scientific, religious or personal one also affects the appropriate perception and judgments on this phenomenon. The article outlines six important perspectives: the perspective of a transsexual person, the medical and psychiatric one (disorder of gender identity, gender dysphoria, sex incongruity), conceptual perspective (transsexuality, trans-identity and trans-gender), the perspective of the gender studies / gender queer (natural dichotomy of a sex as a social construct), the perspective of different concepts of gender identity and their development, as well as the Catholic theological perspective, which still formulates in a significant way a creative disposition of a binary gender order as a socio-cultural basic assumption of different sexes. Finally, there is a need for inclusive review of these perspectives so as to be able to properly respond to the “transsexuality” phenomenon.

    Transseksualizm z perspektywy eklezjalnej
    Wróbel, Józef (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2016)
    The article addresses the issue of transsexualism from the point of view of the fundamental aspects of the life of the ecclesial community. Although the Church has not published an extensive document concerning this topic, it has referred to this problem both directly and indirectly. Sex change has been twice referred to in the context of genderism by Pope Francis and directly with the reference to transsexualism by various dicasteries of the Holy See in several notes. On the other hand, the attitude of the Church toward the discussed problem arises indirectly from its teachings on human sexuality. In general, the Church is of the opinion that formal or surgical sex change does not alter the actual sex of a person. Further, the Author focuses on the problem of transsexualism in terms of baptism, ordination, marriage, and religious vows. From the teachings of the Church it arises that a transsexual person cannot be denied baptism before a sex change. After a sex change, baptism assumes the conversion of such a person, their acceptance of the teachings of the Church on this matter, as well as – bearing in mind social relationships based on truth – their return to their original sex in terms of their identity and sex registered at birth, as it is impossible to restore their original sex after it has been surgically reassigned. The Church is also of the opinion that a transsexual person feeling strong disapproval of his or her phenotypic and genital sex cannot enter into matrimony, be ordained, or make any religious vows. Aside from the previously emphasized decisive importance of the original sex of a transsexual person for these forms of life as well as for social and ecclesial roles, other arguments are involved, such as disapproval of one’s own sex, the inability to control one’s sex, sexual self-identification disorders and lability, narcissistic inclinations, problems with building harmonious interpersonal relationships based on truth, as well as the inability of two persons to physically unite in the moral and canonical context, where either one or both of them have undergone a surgical sex change.
