I wonder what her Imam would say to that. I haven't heard of a Muslim sect that accepts transgender people under their chosen gender. But maybe they are out there, if anyone knows of one I'd like to know more.
In Iran, gender reassignment is legal, and they'll even change the birth certificate to match, from what I learned a decade ago.
Homosexuality, however, is a capital offense, so many gay people are pressured to transition.
Some conservative societies seem to have the attitude that it's better to go from one role with rigid expectations to another than it is to fail to meet the expectations of your original role.
Made me imagine the awkward situation where two gay people transitioned to be able to legally find a match, and found each other.
They had the same thing going here in Apartheid-South Africa.
Oh I see, I did not expect that. Thank you!
Heaven forbid... are you implying that Muslim people perhaps aren't a brainwashed monolith that simply accepts anything spoken by those in authority?
Say it isn't so!
I'm not sure in which direction your sarcasm is actually going there.
I wouldn't say they are a monolith, with all those different sects and the fatwas where you basically have to choose which person or group of muftis you trust to issue binding ones.
On the point of brainwashing... well depends on how you define it, I'd say. I think all Religion at its core is supposed to influence your thinking profoundly and most religious people are brought up into their belief system. What is just socialisation and what is brainwashing I don't know how to distinguish.
Not an expert but for one example you could read the story of Maryam Khatoon Molkara https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_Khatoon_Molkara
Very interesting, thank you
