Entrenched, baseless homophobia promulgated by your religion?

No, because the APA appears to have caved in to intense lobbying from homosexual activism.

"The prevalence of suicide attempts among respondents to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), conducted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and National Center for Transgender Equality, is 41 percent, which vastly exceeds the 4.6 percent of the overall U.S. population who report a lifetime" UCLA School of Law.
With a suicide rate 10 times higher than average, the "treatment" is clearly an abject failure.
And you've ruled out contributing factors... how? Factors like, say, just for example, off the top of my head... the intense, constant, aggressive and oftentimes violent campaign of harassment, bigotry, and hate that your side has been waging against them for decades?
No, it has to be that they transitioned at all, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the out and out war christians have been fighting against these people who've done nothing wrong, nor the increased levels of harassment, assault, rape, and discrimination they face on a daily basis through no fault of their own, because of people like you. You think maybe their suicide rate might go down if you and yours stopped trying to hard to make it culturally acceptable to treat them as second class citizens?
