Conceptual article structure and/or replacement for an expanded transgender page. Initial comparison: homosexuality, but some potential expansion beyond that, too.

Terminology and etymology
Summary. Should link to transgender glossary as a main article.

Prevalence
Present variance demographic splits. There are different FTM/MTF ratios in various countries and studies. There should also be some information about nonbinary/binary split. Also information about how large the community is per country.

Gender binary
Nonbinary/binary distinction.

Dysphoria status
Dysphoric, non-dysphoria, different levels and types of dysphoria.

Transition status
Pre-op, post-op, non-op.

Gender transition
Can largely be a summary of the gender transition article. Perhaps some extra points can be added.

Social transition
Includes legal transition. Briefly mention psychological benefit since it's in the medicine section.

Environmental influences
Parenting, for instance. May have merit? Also, people who are not dysphoric at all and self-describe as making a choice, perhaps.

Social contagion
Littman 2018 ROGD study and Abigail Shrier, basically. Most likely bunk.

As a sexuality or paraphilia
(Obviously antiquated, but worth addressing.) See: autogynephilia, J. Michael Bailey. Harry Benjamin and even Magnus Hirschfeld may have also held to a prototype of this idea.

As a spiritual characteristic
"A masculine/feminine soul trapped in the wrong body": an analogy many hold to be antiquated, but some still view as legitimate for religious reasons. Section may be brief and this can be elaborated on in the religious views section.

Culture war fodder
May explain how it perfectly overlaps with so many various prejudices, such that everybody wants to chip into the "culture wars" regarding trans people: it tugs on various groups' hatred for women, hatred for men, for body autonomy, the irreligious or secular, autistic people, people of different political views, gay people, "political correctness" and "language policing", academia and the higher-educated, Big Science, Big Pharma and doctors in general, hatred for the unknown, and for change.

Sex segregation
See also articles: Transphobia and public restrooms, and Sex segregation in public restrooms, Sex and gender in sport. This section is partly commented out; viewable in source/editing mode. Hidden sections could perhaps be made their own articles.

Conspiracy theories
Cover transvestigation and the overlapped antisemitic conspiracy theories (e.g. represented by the Bilek crowd, in part). Also the "Big Pharma" type garbage that overlaps with the antisemitic and/or far-right stuff as well as with anti-LGBT far-leftism (especially tankies).

Discrimination
Link transphobia article as the main page. List discriminatory impacts. Mention that the gender pay gap is reflected with trans men/women too, somewhat fascinatingly. Could discuss transmisogyny, in that vein.

Hate crimes
Should mention the police-media relationship that likely buries a lot of trans deaths as trans deaths (reporting them as their birth sex alone, reporting them as cross-dressers, etc...).

Conversion therapy
Link conversion therapy article as the main page.

Religious views
This whole thing might be better off summarized on the transgender page, then split into its own article, if there really is this much content available (there probably is). Perhaps "Religious views on LGBT topics", more broadly? Or an equivalent to the attitudes towards homosexuality article, not specifically religious. To this end, there are many sub-sections hidden here in comments, viewable only in source.

Abrahamic faiths
Link Transphobia as a "see also".

Link out to the gender ideology article when discussing Catholicism; but mention pro-trans stances in the Catholic church as well.

Paganism
Link Transphobia as a "see also".

Community
Merge in "days of significance". Include information about transgender culture.

Cross-cultural occurrence

 * Kathoey

Notable transgender people
List more historical figures perhaps.

In nature
There are, surprisingly, some sources that discuss "transgender in nonhuman animals" (example one, two, three, four, five). I have not yet reviewed these in much depth. It's possible that the concept is too patently ridiculous to really include, but maybe not. In any case, pro-trans sources appear to reach wildly various conclusions on this. There has also been the comparison to clownfish, mushrooms, etc. with their sex-changing and multi-sex ways, but this may be more fittingly called intersex, if anything. We'll see.

A useful source may be particularly his book Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity.

Gallery
Could add more photos of people here, especially if all of the ones in the history sections can't fit.
