Let's not talk about some sort of a transgender and gay movement. Let's talk about transgender and gay people, who many Christian institutions insist on harming. It's against the law in much of the United States, for example, to fire or refuse to hire transgender and gay people because they are transgender or gay. The fact that we've gained some small amount of legal protection in employment law is despite Christians institutions that lobby vigorously to stop state equality laws. Today, Christian institutions are fighting hard in the courts to maintain a privilege to discriminate against gay and transgender people.

Transgender and gay people, however, are every bit as much citizens of the United States as Christians are. We are every bit as much entitled to equal opportunity and equal treatment under the law.

Insisting that Christians obey the law with respect to transgender and gay people is not persecution. It's equal treatment.

What Christians do to us transgender and gay people is persecution.

Your argument that not being allowed to discriminate against transgender and gay people might lead to Christians being killed is nothing short of ridiculous.

You're simply demanding that Christians be allowed to continue persecuting other groups of people.
