Not surprising. Ayatollah Khomeini stated in his book in 1963 that corrective surgery for the transsexuals was not an affront against Islam. About the same time I saw Christine Jorgenson on a live TV interview. It took a few years after the revolution for transgender people were not classed in the same vein as homosexuals nor crossdressers. Iran still hangs the latter two.
