Not first. Iran has for longest time sanctioned sex changes and actually subsidies them on national level.

Okay, maybe first for UK soldier.

That website has some of the worse journalism I've ever read. The writing of that article is painful as fuck with cheap shots taken. It actually just plain hurts.

He's the first soldier granted, but that fact doesn't really put any onus upon it; Unless you're following the thread of thought soldiers are somehow prejudiced against Muslims... Don't really see the thread worthiness of this.

Don't some of the more liberal Muslim nations actually encourage sex changes because it's "less homosexual" than a straight up homosexual relationship?

Pretty much dis.

Although, not quite encouragement, they do have some VERY active transgender and crossdessing community's, which would shock most.

I think Vice may of done a gig on it, i'll look for it quickly.

^The bottom line is there's more to the so called "Muslim world" than western media portrays.

These people need better plastic surgeons.

I'm fairly sure Iran is actually considered a liberal state... as far as that part of the world goes.

I know right? I never understood how you can make a man into a woman and still be left with a...man.

I feel bad that I clicked on the article and gave that horrid site a hit.

Shit, at least try to make me think a bit before I can tell which you are, the one from the article is an instant "that is a man".
