Pope Francis met with transgender man Diego Neria Lejárraga (pictured

agreed to meet Diego after Diego wrote to him telling him about the
constant discrimination he experiences in church since he converted from
a woman to a man. According to Spanish newspaper, Hoy, Diego, who was
labelled 'the devil’s daughter' by a priest said: “After hearing him on
many occasions, I felt that he would listen to me.”
Despite the meeting, the Vatican has not commented on it or released photos from the visit.
