This is kind of like one of those vice magazine articles where the dude covers his eyes and throws the dildo at the wall

Islam is dying in Indonesia. Back in the days they beheaded the leader of the transgender tribe in Celebes island.

Islam is weirdly pro tranny

Bring back syariah law, I'll be the first one throwing the stone at them

Yeah like in Iran for example

When the religious culture encourages women to cover up totally it would make sense that trans women would blend in easier and not attract so much attention.

I don't think Islam is very pro-transgender but it's more anti-gay so they're "cool" with gay men chopping their penis off and sequestering themselves the same way that women are supposed to sequester themselves.

Nah, if you are talking about Iran, then they force gays to have a sex change operation.

That's what I meant yep

Free Tranny operations, that's pro tranny

I mean, they don't force "transmen" to get a fake ass dick, they just rape them into "correction".

So it's more like "pro male to female crossdresser".

Islam seems to be on the rise in Indonesia. They just recently passed a new sex crimes law that is very shari'a inspired.

The basic challenge of men pretending to be women may be their 'struggle against reality' (Monty Python).

Good

Only 3% of the population of Indonesia are members of the LBGT community and I'll wager the T's are the smallest group. If you believe climate change is the big boogeyman, why would you only call out a tiny fraction of the country with regard to impacts. If Indonesia sinks into the sea, will it be save the women, children, and trannies first?

Jihadist 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 29 days ago

No. The people of Sulawesi recognize 5 genders. They are men, women, trans men, trans women and trans prophets. Considering the last group is very rare, about half of them are actually trans.

That's great, but that doesn't address the question; if climate change is so important to address, why single out one demographic (I lump all of these people into one demographic - other).

Normal people don't have those problems, hooray!

You know what I find weird, is how just about any man you talk to will say "Trans women? Fucking disgusting," and yet trans women across the world seem to be in demand as sex workers.
