Allowing men who identify as women to enter female-only spaces has not gone over well in other sectors of society. Male criminals who have claimed to be women in order to be put into female prisons have gone on to sexually assault and rape female inmates.
Church lawyer Rik Torfs told Radio 2 Antwerp that men who identify as female cannot enter a convent. The Church “maintains the anthropological view that the biological sex you were born with is unchanging,” he said. “For the Catholic Church, Eefje remains a man and is not welcome in a women’s monastery.”
Reaction on social media to news of a man wanting to enter the convent as a nun was varied.
“As an atheist I will defend the nuns to keep their female only convents,” wrote one person.
“What’s left out there that’s only for females/women & girls? Is there anything left only for us,” wrote one woman.
There was even humor.
“He should have declared himself nun-binary,” wrote one.
Women (generally) made this bed, they get to deal with the consequences.
