2) Christian Protestantism
According to Protestant doctrine, transgender is considered as a sin because they reject the
ordinances of the Lord. However, that happen not because God created people like it, but
because man has sinned from the beginning (the concept of original sin). In the view of this
doctrine, transgender people can believe in the Lord Jesus the same as other sinners. That's why
there is no reason for the other sinners to insult and away from the other . That is, although
including the sin, there is no justification for Protestants to insult the people transsexuals.
"Iron sharpens iron, man sharpens his neighbor" (Proverbs 27:17). According to the
interpretation of this verse, that isnt wise for the community to provide a gap for the transsexual
to form large groups especially when it comes to justification and support of the church.
3) Catholics
Catholic doctrine has similar view to Christian Protestant regarding transgender. According
to the CCC in 2297, sex reassignment violated respect for the integrity of the human body.
According KGK 369, men and women was created, that is to say, willed by God in perfect
equality on the one hand as a human person and the other parties to the manhood and
womanhood. "Manhood" and "womanhood" is something that is good and willed by God: both
male and female, have a dignity that couldnt be lost, which was given to them directly by God,
the Creator (cf. Gen 2: 7:22).
4) Hinduism
Hindu teachings about the presence of three genders, There are pums-Prakriti (male), striPrakriti (female), Tritiya-Prakriti (third sex). This third type of sex consists of Shanda (male to
female) and shandi (female to male). Because of that, the owner Tritiya Prakriti is allowed to
live freely. For example in the story of Baratayudha there are times when Arjuna serves as
Brihannala. By doing so, sex reassignment surgery is free to do.
5) Buddhism
Buddhism upholds tolerance. Moreover, Buddhism also keeps the roots of Hindu culture that
controls the third sex. Tripitaka states that a transgender is couldnt be entitled as monks or nuns.
