Another volley in the war on transgender people by mainstream religions. What do they have against us?

"A few weeks ago, my wife and I were in Hawaii on a "bucket list" trip to paradise. One of the things we did there was go to the top of the 10,000-foot dormant volcano, Maui's Mount Haleakala, to see the stars at night. With Earth's atmosphere much thinner and the skies perfectly clear, it was a magnificent sight."

This article bothered me. The assumption that it would cost money to accommodate trans students, and indeed that $5k wouldn't be enough, borders on libelous.
