In response to a question of whether transgender people can be baptized, the doctrinal office said they could with some conditions and as long as there is “no risk of causing a public scandal or disorientation among the faithful”.

A transgender person would “cause a public scandal” according to any priest that doesn’t want to include trans people. This announcement is pointless, it changes nothing.

When the system allows racists, sexists, homophobes, etc. to wield authority, then the system is racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.
