Its history has been sculpted with the dagger and cannon, its progress marked by the footprints of various armies that have stamped their bloody way through the lands of the indigenous Pashtun tribes. A frontier town, it was the jump-off point for Mujahidin incursions into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Today it is known for bombs and suicide attacks by Taleban militants.
This is Peshawar, a man's world and no place at all for boys who want to be girls. Most of the time.
What I don't like is it says "boys who want to be girls", MtF's have already been female even growing up as an "male"...Simply MtF's are realigning their body to match that in their mind, brain, heart and soul.
It's pretty much that life is very hard for everyone there. It's a center for terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, and drug trafficking. I'm not sure under what circumstances I'd want to be there.
