“If I have already transitioned, am I welcome at church?” Transgender: Understanding Yourself

If I have already transitioned, am I welcome at church?

All of Heavenly Father’s children are welcome at church. If you have chosen to transition, you may still be eligible for baptism and are welcome at Church meetings. See “Transgender Individuals,” 38.6.23, and “Persons Who Identify as Transgender,” 38.2.8.10, in the General Handbook.

Sister Michelle Craig taught: “Latter-day Saints come in many shapes and sizes, but ‘all are alike unto God’—‘black and white, bond and free, male and female,’ single and married, rich and poor, young and old, lifelong member and recent convert. No matter who you are or what you’re dealing with, you are invited to the Lord’s table” (“Spiritual Capacity,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2019, 21).
