Iran is forcing gay men 2 have gender transition surgeries

Iranian LGBTQ activist Shadi Amin has accused Iranian authorities of forcing thousands of gay men every year to undergo gender-affirming surgeries to switch their gender in an attempt to turn them into heterosexuals.

While the exact numbers are forced surgeries for gay and lesbian Iranians remains unclear, Amin says authorities force people to have these surgeries, subsidized by the government, under the threat of arrest, imprisonment, and possible death.

“The government believes that if you are a gay man your soul is that of a woman and you should change your body,” she said. “We think this is a way to fight the existence of homosexual people because you change their body and you solve the problem.”

She added that the country is trying to “cleanse” itself of homosexuals, stating, “[The government] would rather carry out mass surgeries than executions because they know the world is watching them.”

After completing the surgeries, Amin claims that the government offers no further social support for living as a newly transitioned person. As a result, such people are often rejected by their families, Amin says. Lacking familial and social support, many go into sex work and experience physical and sexual violence. This violence can go unpunished; Iran also has no hate crime laws punishing assault against queer individuals.

Wait so they hate gays but are okay with transgenders? Huh?

This is ****ed up to the max...

It’s disgusting. Homophobia is very real in the Middle East, and whether you like to admit it or not, transgender individuals are treated much better. They’re viewed as sex objects and not viewed with disdain, and preferred in society over gays.

Who wants to tell them that a lot of time, the sexual orientation doesn’t change..? As in, a gay male transitioning to a female can very likely end up becoming a lesbian. So lots of emotional trauma and government spending and the “problem” is not solved. The fact people even think this way makes me sick.
