"At the moment, on the world stage, Iran is best known for making mischief in the Middle East. However there is another side to the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is one of the leading countries in the world for transgender surgery. Iran carries out more sex reassignment surgeries than any country in the world besides Thailand.
This might sound odd, as homosexual acts are punishable by death. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has described homosexuality as an “ugly and despicable practice” and part of a “propaganda campaign by the West” in Muslim countries. Under the mullahs, many homosexuals have been hanged.
However, there is a loophole. In 1982 the Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa legalising sex-reassignment surgery, on the grounds that a man’s soul could exist in a woman’s body. So one solution for homosexuals is to live as women after undergoing transgender surgery."
I thought Shias were supposed to be better than this...
