This is a story I heard second hand. Have not verified it cause Iranian history gives me a headache.
After the revolution Khomeini started persecuting minorities and women, despite having promised not to.
Some trans woman kept going to his house and harassed him until he agreed to at least keep protections for trans people.
Iran is the odd one out of middle eastern countries where it thinks being gay is abhorrent but being trans means you’re defective and need the appropriate healthcare. Not that public healthcare in Iran is great. And people are still transphobic.
if youre gay you get murdered unless you capitulate to surgery. this is just that terrible regime forcing surgery on people who dont want it but also dont want to die. it has nothing to do with trans protections/rights/whatevs
