Iran's "Diagnosed Transexuals"

Crazy: so being gay is illegal in Iran, but if you have a sex change so that you can be with the sex you are naturally attracted to, it's OK. So for example, if you're a gay man and become a woman, then you can be with your boyfriend because then you'd be like....heterosexual. And because the government believes so strongly about this, they'll even pay up to 50% of the operation costs for those who need financial assistance. The religious cleric responsible for gender reassignment stuff in the country views changing genders as something simple as "changing wheat to flour to bread".

Hmph.

BBC Doc explores it all.
