GENDER IDEOLOGY:
WHAT CATHOLICS NEED TO KNOW
With Mary Rice Hasson, J.D.
A six-week series exploring “GENDER IDEOLOGY” from a Catholic perspective.
CLASSES START: Apr 9, 2024, 07:00 PM to 8:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Gender ideology is a false system of beliefs about the human person, premised on the idea that “human identity becomes the choice of the individual.” According to gender ideology, the person self-determines a “gender identity,” based on feelings or the person’s “sense of self” as male, female, both, neither, or something else—regardless of the person’s actual male or female sex. Gender ideology asserts an individual’s “right” to “transition” to a desired identity, using social, medical or surgical interventions to “feminize” or “masculinize” the body’s appearance.
