In the August 2024 update of their General Handbook, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) has added new provisions that restrict the activities that transgender church members may take part in.
The General Handbook states that those who struggle with gender identity "should be treated with sensitivity, kindness, compassion, and Christlike love" and that those who do not transition genders may still have full privileges as a member.The new guidance says that those who undertake "surgical, medical, or social transition" will be barred from participation in activities that include teaching, entering the priesthood, or working with children. The prohibition on baptism for individuals who have medically transitioned was also expanded to cover those who have socially transitioned.
