    I would argue Iran has regressive ideas on homosexuality

      Well, in an Islamic theocracy, death penalty for homosexuality is conservative. And in this case it confuses the idea of gay rights and trans rights in an odd way, but imagine, it’s the mid-1980s and the Supreme Ayatollah comes out with, it’s ok for men ro change their sex. That must have blown a bunch of the theocratic conservative minds at the time.

        Not really - Apartheid South Africa had the exact same thing going. They literally forced homosexual men to undergo sex change operations - it’s just an extreme way of enforcing binary gender norms that (somehow) makes sense to those suffering from terminal right-wing brainrot.
