    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.
