"Dr Mirjalali says in Europe a surgeon would do about 40 sex change operations in a decade. He's done 320 in the last 12 years in Iran"

"He shows me the book in Arabic in which, 41 years ago, Ayatollah Khomeini wrote about new medical issues like transsexuality.
I believe he was the first Islamic scientist in the world of Islam who raised the issue of sex change," says Hojatulislam Kariminia.
The Ayatollah's ruling that sex-change operations were allowed has been reconfirmed by Iran's current spiritual leader"

"I want to suggest that the right of transsexuals to change their gender is a human right," says the cleric

funny world!
in the axis of evil human rights for transsexuals are championed by the Ayatollah 41!!! years ago,while in the great democracy and shining beacon to the world you havent a right to vote and "electors" select your president,not voters,and both mayor parties seem to like it like that
