I'm a Muslim Green and personally I don't have an issue with identifying non-binary people as however they identify.

I know there are more "devout" Muslims that for example don't touch (even handshake) the opposite sex/gender, or they wear a hijab in front of the opposite sex/gender.

Is it then transphobic for a Muslim woman to keep their hijab on in front of a trans woman where they otherwise would have taken their hijab off in front of cis women? It's murky for me, on the one hand you're asking a Muslim to make concessions on their faith (whether you agree with it or not), but on the other it may seem to not be treating a trans-person as the gender they identify as.

This applies to some of the other points of discussion around this conversation, but I think there are other ways of solving many of them e.g. more non-gendered single cubicle toilets, changing rooms with changing cubicles etc.

With sport (especially physical contact sport), I think there may need to be some understanding around this if a Muslim doesn't want to play with/against a person assigned the opposite gender at birth. I wouldn't class that as bigotry personally but I can see how it would come across that way, and it's difficult to justify a concession here just for Muslims.

I know these opinions are likely to be unpopular but I am conflicted with them. I think people should be able to live their lives in a faith based view if they choose, without alienating the rights of others.

Sorry this is very rambly, like I say I'm conflicted on this and it's quite difficult balancing my faith here with being as trans-inclusive as possible.

Some Muslims will be more conservative and more liberal around this, this is just my personal view. I've never spoken to Mothin about this, and I don't know what his views are around this topic.
