A Pesantren Waria (Islamic boarding school for transgenders) in Yogyakarta has once again opened its doors, and brought the subject of freedom of religion for all — regardless of sexual orientation — back into the public arena.
Muhaimin said humans were not allowed to undermine others, including transgender people, since everyone was made by God.
Wearing mukena (female prayer dress) and sarongs, the transgender women conducted evening prayer together side by side.
Besides learning Islamic studies, Shinta said the school planned to facilitate ways for its students to make money.
