I gather this Maryam Khatoon Molkara wasn't an average person. Not if she had friends among high level clerics.
If Iran is tolerant of trans people, it sadly appears this is lesz due to grassroots activism, and more because someone important enough for their situation to matter, used their connections to enact change for personal reasons.
Yeah, its to the benefit of many other people, so I can't complain about the outcome. I still reflexively hate to see examples of two tiered justice, where only privileged people get to move social norms, instead of the masses who actually make a society...

It is because the concept of transgender did not exist at the time of the writing of their holy book. So because their holy texts are silent about it, they have no prohibition against it. Another reason why they appear to be more accepting of it, is because forced sexual reassignment is how they "cure" homosexuality in their culture. If you are a man who has sex with men, you must transition to a woman or be executed. It is almost like I said, that cultures are not monolithic, and they can be good in one area and bad in another.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Doesn't stop people from doing it to salve national pride, though.
I mean, Brits do it all the time, they love talking down to Americans based any number of flaws that prove UK better America.
At least Brits get to have national pride, though. Here in the US, the only one who get to do that are rednecks, white nationalists, and racists. The "good" Democrats are supposed to hate America as much as other countries do.
One of the bad features of Democrats, imo, if you can't be an advocate for your own country, who can?

Well yes, look at British Covid. It's the best Covid in the world. You show me a better Covid. Developed in the UK. It's a world beater, people said we would struggle to export anything after Brexit, British Covid is our biggest trade deal ever and proves no one does it beater than Britain. Far more virulent than Chinese Covid. Britain has a Covid we can be proud of.

When culture prodigy is probable you have a shift in the electromagnetic spectrum. It doesn’t mean that your better than a different society. It means that the Star of Bethlehem has been seen.
I think the kids would call my "point" an "epic fail".

We are very self deprecating, we are well aware in the 18th and 19th Centuries we created the modern world. We ushered in the first industrial revolution, we also created the first Gulags.
