@opal They are? I have to admit, that does surprise me. Maybe it shouldn't though, given western influence around probably plays a role. I'm not sure if Islam has much to say about trans people either so maybe it isn't the same as sexual activity between men.

I think I remember reading about the concept in the middle east how if there isn't a son then one of the daughters will take on the role of the son, and that allows the women to leave the home. They are basically treated as a boy in their childhood.
