Iran - Sex change funding undermines no gays claim

'While Mr Ahmadinejad may want to believe that his Islamic society is exclusively non-gay, it is a belief undermined by the paradox that transsexuality and sex changes are tolerated and encouraged under Iran's theocratic system'.

Mr. Tait needs to learn that being Transsexual, does not have to mean your Gay.

I don't think they are necessarily talking about people that would be diagnosed or even identify with being trannsexual here. I think that in some cases, they are talking about people that are key-holed into a surgery event so that they can be seen as heterosexual, even if the person identifies as gay. That is really nasty. Like Hedwig and the angry inch. Not transsexual. Just truly desperate.
