BYU is not an institution that very queer friendly or while we're at it non-LDS friendly. RTA the research is being done at the behest of Vanderbilt univeristy so it's not technically BYU's invention (though they are co-patenting with Vanderbilt). Also as someone who has helped a close relative transition from health to sickness to death I know the horrors of the disease. I think you are over-simplifying this a great deal.

You bring up god...and I have to wonder where you're coming from?
