osexchHello! You've probably noticed that I've changed my sex on Facebook. Were you surprised? Annoyed? Intrigued? Disgusted? Outraged? Did you think it was a joke? Did you perhaps think it was a mistake?
Actually, I'm glad you asked. Today is the international day of action for sexual and bodily rights across Muslim societies: "One Day, One Struggle." To mark the occasion, I've changed my sex on Facebook to raise awareness around challenges facing transgender people everywhere in the world. And I'm going to keep it that way till November 20, the Transgender Day of Remembrance. My message is simple:
1. I want you to know what "transgender" means.
