Judging from what has just happened north of Blighty's border, I fear that the madness is set to continue-at least where the SNP is concerned- under the guise of progressivism.
Newly installed FM Yousaf is determined to resurrect the disastrous and dangerous Gender Recognition Bill, already knocked back by Westminster and seems to be intent on squaring the political and theological circle, since,as a practising Moslem, he must therefore be planning to defy his religion's notably strict and ,in many countries, lethal, proscriptions on homosexuality and gender ideology.
This will inevitably invite the linguistic contortions and double speak favoured by the progressive left: young children are 'non binary', 'be kind' gives howling violent mobs a get-out-of-jail freecard when persecuting women who try to make the case for irrefutable biological fact and climate change means whatever the green inquisitors say it means.
As with the ridiculous masking rituals, also eagerly promoted by the left, the assertive dogmas brook no discussion, no debate, no dissent and no challenge.
Basic rules of grammar and syntax are now disappearing into the melange of group speak and double think.
Dark days indeed! I find it very odd that this 'muslim' man is going to be pushing the transvestite/gender horrors. What I do find conceivable is that he will ring-fence those 'freedoms' for non-muslims and delight in the mutilation of their children. Who cares about the kafirs? Not Mr. Yousaf.
I'm hoping they don't. The Church of England has certainly lost its way and is now viewed as heretical by the Anglican Ministry. In my experience, Muslims have a peculiar way of looking at homosexuality. Apart from the infamous throwing of homosexuals from tower blocks by ISIS, I'm not really sure how it's viewed so and you could be right. There was a Sultan (recent who shall not be named) who kept a bevvy of effeminate young boys in his entourage (I saw/met them myself). They were well rewarded for their friendship! They wore the traditional women's 'trousers' beneath their dish-dash rather than the 'skirt' the men wear. It was once explained to me that the one doing it wasn't homosexual, only the one 'taking' it!
I've always thought, judging from the deadly consequences suffered by many gay men and atheists/secularists in Islamic countries, that Islam , being far more assertive and absolutist than most Christian leaders, would never countenance such a relaxing of its rules.
Alas, psychologists have neither the tools nor the will to investigate this issue. But the short answer is available in psychology's back catalogue: cognitive dissonance. It's important to appreciate just how drastic a transformation of beliefs is required to transition from faith in the Nonsense to putting together a broadly plausible version of events. As long as the legacy media is able to maintain their story, the Covidian non-religion rolls on.

The Christian church has gone down this route, so why wouldn't Islam be next?

They have no issue w/ child “brides” & beta-boys so i think they’re as perverse as all the other religions

I think you identified the two key questions or two of the more important questions.
