It hit the nail RIGHT on the head. Bravo!
THAT was exactly my question: what in the WORLD is a "transgender baptism"??

At a guess,they see it as a simple naming ceremony.

From Google:
A U.K. church has seemingly become the first-ever in Britain to offer ceremonies that would baptize â or re-baptize â transgender children and adults based on their preferred gender identification.
The New Chapel Unitarian and Free Christian in Denton, U.K, made the decision to offer transgender baptisms after getting to know a family who had a transgender child, and learning that the family was having a hard time finding an accepting church, the BBC reported.
âI felt saddened by the fact that this family were being shunned by many mainstream churches,â worship leader Jean Clements told the outlet. âHowever, when the family came to New Chapel, the congregation welcomed them with open arms. âHow in the WORLD can babies be tagged with the "transgender" stigma? They have no idea of their gender.
Oooo, I wouldn't want to be "welcomed with open arms" by that crew. Yuckerino.

Probably a "re-baptism" of an older child. "Steve" now wants to be "Stormie", and his parents want a new naming ceremony.
Fractal wrongness -- wrong, at whatever scale you examine it.

Fractal wrongness -- wrong, at whatever scale you examine it.You may be right.
HOWEVER, it is innately disordered...and sinful.

Seems designed for no other reason but to mock the sacrament. In the same way they’d call themselves Unitarian and Free Christian, there is no such thing.
