A transgender person - including those who have undergone hormonal treatment and gender reassignment surgery - can receive baptism under the same conditions as other believers "if there are no situations in which there is a risk of generating public scandal or disorientation among the faithful".
An adult who has undergone hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery may be a godfather or godmother.
On the question of whether same-sex parents who adopt or use a surrogate mother could have a child baptized in the Catholic Church, the Vatican said a priest's decision would have to be based on the "well-founded hope that he or she would be educated in the Catholic religion".
There was a similarly nuanced response to a question whether a person in a same-sex relationship could be a godparent at a Catholic Church baptism. It said the person had to "lead a life that conforms to the faith".
American Jesuit priest Fr James Martin, who is a supporter of LGBT rights: "This is an important step forward in the Church seeing transgender people not only as people (in a Church where some say they don't really exist) but as Catholics."

Parents are watching Family Feud and commercial hopping at full volume because they refuse subtitles. Mother obliquely called my dad a eunuch because he wasn’t making a fire in the fireplace in a house with functional central heat that was currently running. Dad reminded her that there was not enough split wood. Mother asked whose fault that was. She then tried to get me to split the wood, despite me not knowing how and it being dark. We proceeded to debate whether or not it would be worth it for me to do it, or whether or not my inexperience would lead to poor quality cuts of wood and inefficient use of time, which i knew would only piss my mother off and make my neck pain worse. Dad then proceeded to calmly split the wood indoors in the same room. A fire has not been made yet. Ahhh, i missed this kind of entertainment.

Once paper boats, now warships
Seven folds of man’s ego trip
Paper hearts were made to rip
Murals of faces, blacked with grime
Drones and bombs sing lullabies at bedtime
This is what happens when art is crime
Soured frosting on a birthday cake
Exit wounds in place of heartache
The school is rubble at daybreak
No words to voice their consternation
Children forged in revolution
Become its teeth, its serration
Paper hearts, folded once, now folded twice
Shown dreams of ecstasy and paradise
Paper hearts, misguided, now folded thrice
Young men take despots for commanders
Trained in death, destruction, and slander
Their graves marked only by pink oleander
Paper hearts, creased, unfolded
Children turned to men blindfolded
By zealots, fear, and hunger moulded
This is not about you or me
This happens to be what happens to be
Or are you, too, blindfolded and cannot see?
