Adding to the Section of Transgender and Religion:

With the raise of transgender awareness and the slow increase of acceptance. It is important to understand the role religion has on how many people view transgender individuals A lot of traditionally conservative religions such as Christianity, Catholics and Muslims often view the concept of “transgender” as wrong, and deviant considering a lot of their religious texts favor the idea of heteronormativity and intergroup pro-socility. In the study done by Campbell and other researchers tried to pinpoint just how religion and hatred for the transgender population comes from and their findings found that those who considered themselves religious(specifically Christian) were more associated with trans prejudice especially when correlating things like church attendance, and literal bible interpretations. These results suggest that the idea of creating an intergroup where readings like the bible are the foundation create a dislike for transgender individuals that don’t necessarily fit anywhere in sacred text, therefore associating it with the “out group”, aka, those who don’t belong.
