"'This is the same old story,' [James Whitehead] says. 'The kind of transition that trans people are talking about is very similar to the journey of faith through darkness and desert that people have been making for thousands of years.' He has found, in his teaching and writing, that when he describes trans experience to Catholics in terms of a spiritual journey, a light goes on, and they get it." -- from "A nun's secret ministry brings hope to the transgender community" by Nathan Schneider, 2014-03-02, Al Jazeera America

A catholic lecturer is the LAST person I'd listen to about transgender experience unless they'd experienced it personally. They put on a good show, but the mgmt & their procedures are xenophobic, homophobic and overwhelmingly male-centric.
