Description:
Gender dysphoria (GD), a conflict between one's self-perceived gender identity and the biological sex has been a wholly enigma
and a source of contention between experts of various disciplines since long. This is a narrative review of the medical literature
utilizing PubMed, Scopus, and Web of science databases, on the social status of GD patients, their therapeutic options, as well as the
medical and ethical debate on GD that are of especial interest to the Muslim readers.
Gender dysphoric patients or transgender people have a long history of social discrimination, marginalization, abuse, and
neglect all around the world. Currently, large scale social developments supporting of transgender rights are rapidly underway in
the west. Clinical evidence-based guidelines have also been published and are available for the management of GD, albeit with some
medical and ethical concerns. On the other hand, the transgender community is continued to suffer profoundly in the developing and
majority of Muslim nations, due to generalized unawareness, neglect, cultural and religious boundaries on this issue. Currently,
Muslim youth or young adults are showing passionate interest in GD and are actively seeking information to comprehend its
complexities, but they face more dilemma on this matter than the people in the West.
This article addresses and discusses key transgender issues and controversies and provides a logical explanation that
demonstrates that GD is real medical condition needing attention and that its treatment guidelines are justified. We hope this article
will stimulate a new and broader perspective in minds of young Muslims and will urge them to take pragmatic steps in alleviating the
travails of long-suffering and neglected transgender community.

The writings of John Capreolus (ca. 1380-1444), the Prince of Thomists, have come down to us exclusively through his great work, the Defense of the Theology of Thomas Aquinas (abbreviated in this article as the Defensiones), completed about the year 1442.

Ministry to Catholic LGBTQ Youth: A Call for Openness and Affirmation
Creator:
Canales, Art
Description:
This article evaluates the current Catholic youth ministry practice to, with, and for Catholic LGBTQ youth. The methodology utilized is both descriptive and prescriptive, and calls into question the lack of ministerial presence afforded to Catholic LGBTQ youth. The essay briefly examines the official ecclesiastical documents on homosexuality and their relevance for LGBTQ youth. Next it assesses the major US ecclesial youth ministry document, Renewing the Vision, and calls for its renewal and revision. In particular the article offers concrete recommendations for the two areas of Catholic youth ministry—advocacy and pastoral care—that would have the most positive impact for LGBTQ youth and Catholic youth ministry. Finally, the article calls for the US Catholic bishops, youth ministers, and parents to be more open and affirming with LGBTQ youth and provides some practical suggestions.

Description:
This article addresses four models of leadership that Christian communities may want to adopt to help them assess and articulate a more vibrant and dynamic youth ministry. In particular, this article will demonstrate that authentic Christian leadership for youth ministry is much more than teaching young people about pastoral skills, but requires a lifestyle that empowers adolescents to become responsible and genuine leaders in their schools, churches, neighborhoods, and communities. and This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Religious Education on 02/14/2014, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/00344087.2014.868207
