If this allows doctors or healthcare professionals to not treat LBGT people for anything other than Sex Change, or Abortion then It is Wrong! And will fail quickly to legal challange

No doctor or health care worker should be forced to do elective surgery, just as it should be illegal to deny critical healthcare to any group regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation etc.
