Even though being trans is legal in Iran and the surgery is even subsidized by the state, forcing SRS to recognize someone as changing their gender is transphobic, and same sex relations are still illegal in Iran with extreme an penalty to it. As for Jordan, homophobia there still exists even though it’s not illegal… that’s normal, there’s no country that doesn’t have homophobes in its population whether same sex relationship status is legal or not, just like how racism being illegal doesn’t stop racism.

This post is meant to highlight that unlike what the Zionist entity want people to believe, it isn’t the beacon of LGBT rights in the region, besides being an Apartheid racist settler-colonial state where queer rights are only applied to the settlers and Arabs queers have to just die like the other Arabs, it also wasn’t the first one in the region to give transgender people and same-sex couples rights… Also gay marriage isn’t legal there yet.

Western propaganda is leading people to believe that Middle Eastern and other global south countries are completely incapable of legalizing homosexuality and that only after western-backed regime can it be done, even though these same western countries only managed to do so in what is essentially “yesterday” in history, the U.S took until 2003 for Lawrence v. Texas, and the last territory to legalize same-sex relations in Australia was Tasmania in 1997… this is Orientalism. For the Islamic Republic of Iran, a country well known for being a fundamentalist theocratic state to legalize and even subsidizing trans surgeries throws dust at their lie of Queer rights to justify imperialism.

In conclusion, as always the “superior white European” managed to be civilized all by his own, but we third world savages need a police state bombing us to do the same.
