So, Iran, pored svoje smrtne kazne na homoseksualnost, je posle Tajlanda druga zemlja u svetu u kojoj se godisnje obavi najvise operacija promene pola. Zasto?

Iran pressures lesbians, gays to have sex change operations (nastavak clanka u linku)

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – When Arshkan, a young Iranian man, told a psychiatrist he was homosexual he was astonished to get a letter telling him to start hormone therapy in preparation for a sex change.

Sara, a student in Tehran, was similarly advised to change sex after confiding to a psychologist that she preferred girls to boys.

Rights campaigners say Iranian doctors routinely pressure lesbians and gays to undergo sex change operations including sterilisation.

While homosexuality is considered a sin in Iran, transsexuality is viewed as a legitimate health problem which can be cured through surgery, according to a report by Justice For Iran (JFI) and 6Rang, an Iranian lesbian and transgender network.

“Most healthcare professionals in Iran believe homosexuality is a form of mental illness,” said the report’s author and 6Rang founder Shadi Amin. “Lesbians and gays are often told they have gender identity disorder.”

Transsexuality was legalised after revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a religious edict in 1985 authorising sex change operations.

Today, Iran carries out among the highest number of sex changes in the world and is the only country which imposes the death penalty for homosexual behaviour while permitting sex changes, Amin said.

There are no official statistics for sex change operations, but the report says applications made to the Legal Medicine Organisation of Iran (LMOI) have soared in recent years.

There were 1,366 applications between 2006 and 2010, but campaigners say anecdotal evidence from doctors suggests the number of operations is far higher.

A leading LMOI psychiatrist is quoted in the report as linking the high number of applicants to Iran’s rejection of homosexual lifestyles.

A prominent surgeon is also quoted as saying in 2005 that he had performed at least eight times as many sex change operations as he would have done if practising in Europe - a fact he attributed to the ban on homosexuality.

Na svu muku, i neinformisanost: nije mi jasno da ne zna u kakvoj zemlji živi i da mu pada na pamet da priča doktoru da je gay. Pa posle bude astonished kad ga ubace u program.
