Ok boomer. If trans people want to "make themselves God", I support that. Whatever that is supposed to mean anyway.

Yeah, the Vatican threatens my unique dignity. It is so declared.
The social engineering once forced upon the masses to increase slave production is finally coming close to irrelevance
So glad they're only blasting it and not slamming it.
I think offloading one's morality to a patriarchal power-hungry cartel is an embarrassment to human dignity, but you know what I do about it?
Let people live the one life they have in whatever way they want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
It's not anyone else's job to force their idea of dignity on people, but I guess the Catholic Church isn't known to stop their clergy from being forced onto unwilling targets.
people must not tinker with that plan or try to “make oneself God.”
How fortunate it is that every single one of is sins and can all be forgiven, so we can just leave worrying about all that up to God, right? Right?
Or some shit. I'm an atheist, but I understand the myth better than most believers. Not that it matters because there is no logic or consistency anywhere in the doctrine, so why assume there is any in this edict?
god made light so why aren’t light bulbs playing god?
But touching little kids was definitely part of the plan.
Touching kids is their only plan.
Wasn't Eve created from a man's rib as an afterthought?
There are two creation narratives in the book of Genesis, and both are considered to be historical allegories.
Can we really handwave away the whole Adam and Eve thing though?
If we do, then what did Jesus die for?
The original sin. Which in most myths is acquiring knowledge or attaining sentience.
If we do, then what did Jesus die for?
The new motto for Vegas -- if you don't enjoy yourself, he died for nothing.
both are considered to be historical allegories.
How convenient that the "word of god" (as many churches describe the bible) is so open to human interpretation.
But the ability to interpret it is also flexible.... Sometimes it's to be taking verbatim, sometimes it has to be interpreted (but only by the right people, of course)

God is dead, popey boi, keep your culty ideas to yourself
something something yin and yang. Be a little based, gotta be a little unbased.
Balances out the universal gravitational whats its doohickeys or something.
This is barely news; the headline might as well be 'Hate group hates'. But jeez, I giggled at the start of the fourth paragraph with, "In its most eagerly anticipated section…" Even among Christians, even among very-very-Christians, is there anyone who "eagerly anticipates" the Vatican's declarations of doctrine?
If "God created man and woman as biologically different" then who created all the different intersex people? Even if you ignore or dismiss trans people, there are other people whose sexual characteristics at birth were not so easily sorted into male or female, and others whose physical traits either don't align with the basic understanding of "sex" chromosomes or whose chromosomes are different than XX and XY.
Logically, if God exists, then either their statement is wrong and He does make people whose gender is indeterminate, or there is another god who is also making people. Or perhaps He is not that involved in the process, and "God's Plan" is more of a loose framework.

can we just blow up the vatican
That doesn't sound fair to Italy. I am sure Italy has enough issues without random debris raining down on her.
