Transgender people and religion

The relationship between transgender people and religion varies widely around the world. Religions range from condemning any gender variance to honoring transgender people as religious leaders. Views within a single religion can vary considerably, as can views between different faiths.

This article includes a wide overview of documented beliefs and opinions held within various sects of mainstream religions, both on a large scale (i.e. statements made by the Pope on behalf of the entire Catholic Church) and on a small scale (i.e. a church accepting a transgender pastor).
