BBC News has a fascinating article on
transsexuals in Iran. Apparently homosexuality is illegal and condemned, but transsexuality is a disease. And the treatment is a sex-change operation. That doesn't necessarily mean the family approves, but hey, they don't always accept it in the US either. I found the article really interesting. I had assumed that transsexuals would face the same discrimination as homosexuals - legally, I mean. Socially is a different story.
