Transgender heading.

That sub-heading is huge. Any way we can shorten it? --Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Public opinion section - split

Seems like we don't want to conflate views of religious leaders with the public. Therefore, the section should be split along those lines, making it clear that the views of religious leaders are believed to influence the public. Catrìona (talk) 23:55, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
