At the 51st General Assembly, an overture passed commending the biblical faithfulness of the letter regarding gender reassignment for minors written by the commission of the 50th General Assembly, while leaving it to the discretion of each court to determine whether and how to share the letter with civil magistrates.
The letter humbly petitions government officials to protect the lives and welfare of minor children from the physical, mental, and emotional harms associated with medical and surgical interventions for the purpose of gender reassignment, and to call upon government leaders to use their positions to promote the health, bodily integrity, and wellbeing of minors who are suffering from gender dysphoria and related conditions.
In response to Overture 13, the 51st Assembly commended the letter as biblically faithful and encouraged sessions and presbyteries to communicate this to their local and regional governments.
