I did not say nor did I intend to imply that the vast majority do. Just that a non-negligible amount of homophobic conservatives have found transsexualism as a workable solution to the “gay problem.” I mention religiousness because because in the church I grew up in, transsexualism was not and is not the boogeyman they homosexuality was and remains. And in Muslim countries, transsexualism is actually seen as a cure for gay men including in Iran and Pakistan. There are places where gay people can get married if one of them legally changes their sex. Greece is like that now. The UK was like that from 2004-2014.

This is serious delusion.

Also, nobody cares about muslims.

In my experience they are much less opposed to trans than to gay
