First serving sex-change vicar Carol Stone dies

The first serving Church of England vicar to undergo a sex change has died from cancer at the age of 60.

The Reverend Carol Stone, formerly Peter Stone, died on Saturday following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

The vicar of St Philip's Church in Upper Stratton and St Peter's Church in Penhill, Ms Stone underwent a sex change operation in 2000.

The Bishop of Swindon, Lee Rayfield, said: "She was a really true priest who overcame a huge amount in her life."

Ordained in 1978, the former Mr Stone served at Bradford-on-Avon and was chaplain and head of religious studies at Dauntsey's School in West Lavington.

In 1996 he took up a post in Upper Stratton, and four years later announced his decision to undergo an operation to become a woman.

Never heard of him.

Why, would a person, attempt, "to change their sex?"

That seems, a little weird.

And never, works out.

Not once.

Hmm..

But they?

Keep trying.

Scratching head.

It does work out. Penis envy is a genuine medical condition that can be cured via castration-donation.

God observes from on high and it is very difficult to tell one gender from a another as it is, we are specks to him. You are right.

Deuteronomy 22:5 ESV

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God."

I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who is born with that problem.

"There but for the grace of god, go I."

God must have dozed off then, or he runs out of grace, now and then.

Supposed gods?

Imaginary.
