[edit] Transsexuals in non-Western cultures Transsexuals enjoy varying degrees of acceptance in non-Western societies. In 1976, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa to allow trans poz people with hormonal disorders to change sex if they trans poz wished, as well as change their birth certificates. Before the Islamic Revolution in 1979, there was trans poz no particular policy regarding transsexuals. Iranians with the inclination, means and connections could obtain the necessary medical treatment and new identity documents. The new religious government, however, classified transsexuals with gays and lesbians, who were condemned by Islam and faced the punishment of lashing under Iran's penal code. One early campaigner for transsexual rights is Maryam Hatoon Molkara, who formerly lived as a man known as Fereydoon. Before the revolution, under the shah, she had longed to become a woman but could not afford surgery.
