It insists that worshippers and students use lockers and bathrooms consistent with their biological sexuality and bans the use of preferred pronouns at schools and parishes.<\/p>\n<p>Woke activists are furious that the Diocese of Des Moines, Iowa, has started to implement its anti-woke policies Monday. Supporters have graciously acknowledged the efforts of their bishop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny parochial, organizational, or institutional documentation which requires the designation of a person\u2019s sex is to reflect that person\u2019s biological sex,\u201d The diocesan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmdiocese.org\/filesimages\/Resources\/Gender%20Identity%20Guide%20and%20Policy_Final_13%20January%202023.pdf\">writes<\/a>. \u201cNo person may designate a \u2018preferred pronoun\u2019 in speech or in writing when related to ministry activities of any kind, nor are parishes, organizations, or institutions to permit such a designation. To permit the designation of a preferred pronoun, while intended as an act of charity, instead promotes the dissociation of biological sex and \u2018gender\u2019 and thereby confuses or denies personal integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll persons must use the bathroom or locker room that matches their biological sex,\u201d The diocesan continues. \u201cDiocesan parishes, organizations, and institutions are permitted to have individual-use bathrooms that are available for all members of the respective community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, a church that is acting like a church,\u201d According to one supporter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11642739\/Activists-erupt-Diocese-Des-Moines-enacts-anti-woke-rules-churches-schools.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But State Sen. Claire Celsi, a Democrat, snapped, \u201cThis is not what Jesus would do,\u201d The telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesregister.com\/story\/news\/local\/2023\/01\/07\/lbgtq-faith-leaders-condemn-des-moines-dioceses-new-gender-policies\/69784305007\/\">Des Moines Register<\/a>, \u201cTo actually come out, and say, \u2018We\u2019re going to stamp this out, we\u2019re going to pretend like it doesn\u2019t exist,\u2019 and issue this kind of edict is, I think, reprehensible.\u201d Courtney Reyes, executive Director of One Iowa&#8217;s LGBTQ+ equality group, also spoke up. \u201cYou cannot pretend to be compassionate while misgendering people and denying them access to any and all spaces under your control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The diocese writes:<\/p>\n<p><em>The Church\u2019s teaching that our identities as male and female are established as part of God\u2019s providential plan for humanity. \u2026 While there are obvious cultural and individual variations in how gender roles and personal qualities are expressed and accented, each person is called to a life of wholeness and integration, which in this context means an alignment between his or her gender identity and his or her sexual identity manifested at birth. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A person\u2019s \u201cgender\u201d is inseparable and unaffected by biological sex.
