I noticed HRT is technically allowed and debatebly encouraged under Shariah so am now reading wikipedia articles about Trans rights in Iran

Yeah, forcing gay people to undergo surgery so that they would no longer be considered gay, in my opinion, is not "onto something"

While I cannot speak for trans people, I would expect them to agree that it is wrong to potentially inflict suffering related to gender dysphoria on people that may not experience it otherwise. I see trans people fight for the right to live as the gender that they identity with, and this is really the opposite of that goal in many cases.

Yeah and forcing trans people to get bottom surgery to be recognized is pretty fucked up. Not every trans person has gender dysphoria for their genitals, so it's just ignorant gatekeeping and arbitrary enforcement of the gender binary, which only serves to hurt trans people generally and erase nonbinary people.
