not that it makes things necessarily better but for accuracy’s sake, and speaking very generally, muslim populations are less likely to have a problem with trans people than with gay people.
I don’t know if it’s a Sunni-Shia split thing, but Pakistan and Iran are weirdly trans-friendly (relatively speaking) compared to how homophobic they are.
nah doesn’t have much to do with the split. the general view is mostly based on an assumption of gender binary. so being gay is like going against your gender, while being trans (with operation, and being straight) isn’t, because essentially you’re fixing something that’s not right with your body… not that different from having an operation on your eye to fix your vision or whatever.

from my experience no, but maybe you met different people
