Diocese of Des Moines bans puberty blockers, cross-dressing, even preferred pronouns on property

A Catholic diocese in Iowa has enforced seven strict “gender identity” policies for all its parishes and schools — forbidding puberty blockers, cross-dressing and even preferred pronouns on its property.

The Diocese of Des Moines said the policies are mostly aimed at those it says suffer “gender dysphoria” and were produced “after two years of study, prayer, listening and consulting.
