Status Updates From Die Geleugnete Natur: Warum...

Favale first talks about her experience and fears of her body in the postpartum period, describing her own body dysmorphia.She then mentions how gender affirming care lacks robust diagnosis or alternative treatments, instead jumping straight into sex alternating treatments. Furthermore, she discusses the use of pronouns & how the church often ostrasizes the LGBT community, encouraging Christians to demonstrate love.

Favale starts the chapter talking about different creation stories, and how in those stories, women are seen as undesirable/weak and men seen as desirable. She then goes on to talk about people who decide to transition and some of the reasons behind this. Favale also mentions the risks of medically transitioning.

Absolutely loving this. She hits the nail on the head with so many of my scattered thoughts. Can already see this as a great gift to a senior going off to college, etc. So on point. Also, one of the most concise and beautifully eloquent explanations of the Theology of the Body I’ve read in a while- it’s one of the many reasons I fell in love with the faith in college (and not the watered down version).
