I was contemplating in getting surgery because well, I wanna be a non-binary and I’m worried and scared that I might regret it; in life and death. I want a clear answer so.
I’m not sure of Church teaching in this particular case. This isn’t just about the surgery, it’s about the surgery for a particular reason. Perhaps a priest could help you more?I was contemplating in getting surgery because well, I wanna be a non-binary and I’m worried and scared that I might regret it; in life and death.

According to the OP, she doesn’t want the surgery for either of the reasons you suggest. She wants the surgery because she wishes to identify as gender non-binary.If done for functional or medical reasons, there is not likely anything wrong. It gets a little gray if done for aesthetics.
I would peruse the website of the National Catholic Bioethics Center.
The main reason for having breast reduction surgery, as you will presumably know, is because large breasts can cause problems such as back pain. I cannot imagine that there are any ethical concerns about that, as it is treatment for a condition which causes pain and potentially damage to the spine.I was contemplating in getting surgery because well, I wanna be a non-binary and I’m worried and scared that I might regret it; in life and death.

My son tells me about all this gender fluidity, cis-this, trans-that business he sees online, and I find it horrifying. I have told him how disordered all of this — while he is avowedly cis-male (i.e., normal male), he tells me about this actress who has decided she is male and rejects being “deadnamed” (i.e., referred to by her “old” female name), and other similar bizarreness. It is as though that whole generation has gone crazy. We must pray and do penance for our youth.My daughter just finished “Irreversible Damage” and she was appalled. She had seen this all play out among some of her friends a few years earlier, with disastrous results. OP, please read the book.
I’m not so sure. I don’t think gender transition surgery is morally licit according to the Church.It is not. You are beautiful in God’s eyes, and he wants you to be comfortable in your own skin. You are a beloved child of God.
They asked for a moral judgement, so yeah.Even if there was, is it our place to judge?
I’m gonna stop you right there. If you’re Catholic, you should know that this line of thinking is completely irrelevant.Where in the Bible
