Request for Information

I'm looking for specific information from those of religious persuasions relating to a book I am working on about transgender issues. I am looking for the following:

1. What religious beliefs do you hold?
2. What does your religion teach about transgender people (if anything)? Is it separate from LGB issues or included in?
3. What scriptural backing does that teaching have? (chapter and verse in the bible, for instance)
4. What are your personal beliefs? If it differs from the teaching of your religion, why?
5. How many trans people do you know?

I'm not looking to start a debate, just gathering information. please respond in dm if you wish. thank you for participating.
