A court in Mexico has thrown out an attempt by a transgender activist to force the Catholic Church to doctor baptismal records to reflect a change of sex.
The Twenty-second Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the constitutional rights of the Diocese of Querétaro to refuse to alter church records according to a transgender individual’s self-identification.
The complainant, who says he is a woman, filed a petition against the diocese in 2021, demanding his registered name and male sex was changed on his baptismal records, which the Church had refused to do.
