That does not make sense. Why would a charitable agency (who surely want to help people) decide not to help anyone if they can't only help the 'right' people?
Unless there was some concern that, because of the discrimination by Christian charities if they did offer support to trans people who due to the discrimination would never convert to Christianity that they never convert to Christianity?
But that can't be the case because that would mean these charities only exist to exert a manipulative pressure for the recipients of such aide into becoming Christians.
I don't remember reading "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. Except the trans and the gays." in the Bible.
As others have pointed out, the conventional Christian "charity" that passes in the US is often just about polishing their halo's and covert proselytism.
The kind of charity talked about in the story of the Good Samaritan, on the other hand, has nothing to do with concern about sanctity (the Bible does have some good moral lessons in it, I agree with Christians on that point... but I disagree with the religion fundamentally as a religion, still).
