Priest says ‘trans’ people he has ministered to have deep wounds

[Michie]

Father Francisco “Patxi” Bronchalo of the Diocese of Getafe in Spain shared on X about the emotional wounds he has encountered throughout his pastoral experience in persons who declare themselves “trans.”

The priest began a thread on X on April 3 affirming that “a man who says he’s a woman is not a woman but a man who says he’s a woman,” which “seems obvious” but nevertheless means going against “the ideological trans dogma and makes many people cry to high heaven.”

The priest explained that among people who declare themselves “trans,” he has always found in his pastoral experience that “there are deep wounds that have led to nonacceptance of their biological reality.”

Given this, instead of facing their problems, they are offered an “escape forward” into an ideology “that says that biological reality does not define what a person is but that what is defining is how this person perceives himself.”

Consequently, “a whole new anthropological, moral, and legal construction is proposed to justify the ideology” that leads to teaching children in schools “the 37 different genders that are said to exist,” the priest continued.

I agree entirely that the trans movement is wounded, and that these folks have experienced trauma. A decade ago, this trans stuff was less common, and the world talked about real issues, such as poverty, green energy (also, Greed-e-lon Musk was not really a thing back then also, which was great) and cheaper healthcare.


Here is a summary of the article posted by @Michie :

The article by Nicolás de Cárdenas published on April 4, 2024, features an in-depth summary of a thread shared by Father Francisco "Patxi" Bronchalo of the Diocese of Getafe in Spain on social media platform X. In his thread, Father Bronchalo discussed the emotional wounds he has encountered throughout his pastoral experience with individuals who identify as "trans."

Father Bronchalo began by stating that a person who identifies as a woman but is biologically male is not a woman, but rather a man identifying as a woman. He acknowledged that this statement goes against the "trans ideology," which has become a controversial topic and elicits strong reactions from many people.

The priest explained that among individuals who identify as trans, he has consistently found deep-rooted wounds that cause them to reject their biological reality. Instead of dealing with these issues, they are offered an "escape forward" through an ideology that suggests biological reality is not what defines a person but rather how one perceives oneself.

Father Bronchalo highlighted two primary types of wounds he has encountered: sexual, physical, and psychological abuse by a family member or sexual bullying at school and rejection from friends due to shyness, sensitivity, or withdrawal. He emphasized that these children often come from broken homes where they do not receive the security and affection they need, causing long-term suffering.

The priest criticized the solution offered to these young people, which often includes waving a flag and taking opposite-sex hormones. He warned that this decision can lead to irreversible consequences and pointed out that there is little visibility given to those who regret the process. Some individuals may turn to drugs, promiscuity, or prostitution in an attempt to alleviate emotional pain.

Father Bronchalo asked what truly heals wounds and answered that it is affection, security, and true love. He lamented that these missing elements could have been given to these individuals, providing them with a better understanding of the unconditional love God has for us.
