Religions come in all different flavors, some hate us, some are lukewarm and others embrace us with open arms.
“It is morally wrong for an individual to identity with a gender different than the sex they were born with?” Those who disagree or said that it was a moral issue was 45% and 14% respectively. That means 59% do not believe I won’t say wrong but rather not a problem.
We did a little worst with the next question, “It is morally wrong to change the gender you were born with through either surgery or taking hormones?” Those that said disagree or not an issue were 43% and 11%, so 42% think we should suffer because it is against their beliefs.
Another interesting fact that the article points out…

(RNS) A survey of 1,000 Americans by Nashville-based evangelical research firm LifeWay Research finds 6 in 10 Americans don’t believe it is morally wrong for people to identify with a gender different from the sex they were assigned at birth.
And more than half don’t think it’s morally wrong to change one’s body to match his or her gender identity by taking hormones or having surgery.
“A majority of Americans reject the view of a creator giving them a gender that shouldn’t be changed,” LifeWay Executive Director Scott McConnell said in a written statement.

Among the 27 percent of all Americans who say they know someone who is transgender, 25 percent say identifying with a different gender is wrong and 28 percent say transitioning is. Those numbers are higher among those who have no transgender acquaintances: 39 percent say it is wrong to identify with another gender, and 48 percent say it is wrong to transition.So looking at it another way of the 27 percent that know someone trans, 75% don’t think it is wrong, 72% don’t think transitioning is wrong. It also shows that if people know a trans person they are more likely to be accepting.
