For the Bulgarian Orthodox church “gender” is no more than a biological concept

Interpreting the notion of “gender” extends beyond legal argument and affects the fundament of the human race – the biological nature of humans and their spiritual significance, reads a position by the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox church on the notion of the concept of “gender”, requested by the Constitutional Court.

The new ideologies stating that gender exists outside biological gender are an attempt to estrange humans from God. Humans, as man and woman, are God’s creation and it is not a matter of personal choice. Just as we cannot choose our parents, so we cannot choose our gender. The church does not substitute nature’s attributes, it sanctifies them, giving them an opportunity to reveal themselves to the full, the position reads.
