gay question re the catholic church?

Question

So. Let's say this person was born female, but now lives life as a male, ie has changed his drivers license to male, a legal male name, doesnt look or sound female but like a very attractive/pretty male no one would ever know he was ever female before by interacting with him (although he is fairly open about the info), everyone calls him "he". However, he still has some female anatomy, although overall his body is very male-like

Let's say this person still primarily dates and is attracted to men. If he has a boyfriend, does this count as homosexual or can he get away with it because technically, he was born female?

If he was with a heterosexual woman in a more het-appearing relationship, would this be more acceptable or less? Or are his relationships with either considered homosexual? Would he be allowed to marry either of these people?

Real respectful answers please. I just want to know what is the interpretation of his relationships with men and women, and which is ok.

Answer 1

If a person is now legally and psychologically a male, and dates a female, they are not LGBT. They are straight.

Frankly, I don't care what any religion says about it. If a religion were to be so bigoted as to not accept such a union, I would take my business - and my wonderful life and family - elsewhere.

Answer 2

All I can say is most Catholic churches would not accept a lifestyle different from female born = female married male.

Though some Catholics I know,think they are being forced to change their beliefs to encourage more people to join their churches,they still believe man and women not any other selections.

I couldn't care less myself,live your life your way,and leave the world better off then when you entered it.

Answer 3

So you're saying this person is a Pre-op FTM transgendered who dates men. Right?
Ok, so, I guess my next question would be, does this person engage in homosexual style anal sex with "his" boyfriend or does "he" have heterosexual style sex? If it's the later, then the Catholic church would classify it as a heterosexual relationship.
If they have homosexual style anal sex then it would be concidered a homosexual relationship and they might face a lot of challenges in the Catholic Church...but "he" would definitely NOT be allowed to marry "his" boyfriend.

Also, if "he" plans on going through with gender reassignment surgury, "he" would NOT be allowed to marry in the Catholic church.

Answer 4

The Church views sex changes as a moral violation of respect for one's own dignity as a human being.

No matter what one has done to their bodies with surgery, a human being will always be inherently male or inherently female.

Answer 5

You are what you are.

Ultimately, God will be the Judge, but in the Catholic Church as well as most of America and the world, if they were born as a Female, they would have to marry a Male.

And any sex outside marriage is also a sin.

I would suggest a lot of counceling with the Clergy if this person wants to remain in the Chruch.

Hope this helps!

Peace!

Answer 6

If you consider yourself male, and you're dating a male, you are gay, or bisexual(if you like both sexes).

If you consider yourself male and are dating a female, you are straight or bisexual(again if you like both).

It's about your sexual identity. If you consider yourself a man, it doesn't matter what's between your legs, you're male.

I hope this makes sense.

Answer 7

I really do not know. It sounds to me like this person is so confused, that they should take some time, move to a mountain top, and find out who they are before seeking the acceptance of anyone.

Answer 8

If this question is not about you - why do you care? If this question is about you - why do you care? Can't you just let it be as it is?
