As far as I know, Muslims in general seem to be better with people who are transitioned and are straight, rather than any form of homosexuality in general. I went to a queer Muslim conference once and met a lovely Arab couple who were Muslim: the man being a transman, with his girlfriend. They were really cute together! They were with each other before, and also with each other after. As far as I know, it just looks so much better for heterosexuality, whether trans or cis, than it is with homosexuality.
Plus, my friend is a wonderful not-so-dedicated Muslimah (female Muslim) and she is pretty accepting of me.

Time to time we go to the bathroom together for safety and a chat!
Now as a person quite familiar with Islamic teachings, there is nothing really in the Qur'an or hadith (even though I don't believe in hadith) concerning transgenderism or transsexualism at all. While homosexuality has been classically considered a choice, transsexualism is considered something akin to a birth defect. There are a few classical Islamic scholars regarding being a '
mukhannath' or '
khuntha'. (

The Prophet Muhammad himself (peace be upon him) protected these
mukhannathun.
Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 41, Number 4910:
"
Narrated Abu Hurayrah: A mukhannath who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He asked: What is the matter with this man?
He was told: Apostle of God! He affects women's get-up.So the Prophet ordered regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'.The people said: Apostle of God! Should we not kill him?
He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. [Abu Usamah said: Naqi' is a region near Medina and not a Baqi (in other words not referring to Jannat al-Baqi cemetery. Indicating they were not punished.)']"

"Unto GOD belongeth the Sovereignty
of the heavens and the earth.
He createth what He will.
He bestoweth female offspring upon whom He will,
and bestoweth male offspring upon whom He will;
Or He mingleth them, males and females,
and He maketh barren whom He will.
Lo! He is Knower, Powerful."
-- Surah ash-Shura (the Counsel), 42:49-50
