Katie McCoy, director of Women's Ministry at Texas Baptists, emphasizes the importance of the Church's role in providing a holistic care approach to individuals experiencing gender dysphoria. She advocates for addressing the spiritual, psychological, and emotional needs of the affected, cautioning against the long-term, often irreversible, impacts of gender transition treatments. McCoy also draws on historical instances of gender confusion to argue for a theological response grounded in the biblical narrative of creation and sexual differentiation.
