Thanks! "Gender reassignment" is the sort of PC newspeak one should expect from an article that takes the pointless dig, "The Baptists, whose denomination was founded by supporters of slave-owning missionaries".

an article that takes the pointless dig, "The Baptists, whose denomination was founded by supporters of slave-owning missionaries".

I thought that, too, at first glance. But on re-reading, that sentence seems to explain the reason for the following sentences, which were statements of atonement for any of SB's past support for slavery or Jim Crow. Without the explanation, it might not have been so clear as to why this issue was raised. They were putting it in the historic past, not commenting on some recent embarrassment.
