If you're in Iran it's called corrective transing to cure homosexuality. Religious bigotry is so stunning and brave!

I was about to say I think it's a Middle Eastern/Muslim cultural/religious thing. I would guess most Western people would be happier with their child being gay than trans, if nothing more than all the risky medical and drug complications that come with being trans.

There are tons of religious communities in the american midwest where being gay is a black mark, but being trans is totally acceptable (as it's to "fix" gayness).

Do you have examples? I'm not from the midwest and I find this hard to believe..

I think it's just a stereotype.
