Transsexuals in Iran (DVD)

یک فیلم مستند در باره پسرانی که با عمل جراحی تغییر جنسیت میدهند

A documentary film By: Vanessa Barford , BBC News (in English)

Synopsis:
Homosexual relationships are banned in Iran, but the country allows sex change operations and hundreds of men have elected for surgery to change their lives. Sex changes have been legal in Iran since Ayatollah Khomeini, the spiritual leader of the 1979 Islamic revolution, passed a fatwa – a religious edict – authorising them for “”diagnosed transsexuals”” 25 years ago. Today, Iran carries out more sex change operations than any other nation in the world except for Thailand. The government even provides up to half the cost for those needing financial assistance and a sex change is recognised on your birth certificate.
