Transition: 2001-2004. Fully stealth since 2002 (had sex reassignment surgery & changed all of my documents). My last transition procedure was voice feminization surgery.

    Not sure if I’m making things up but I think in Iran you’re allowed to marry a man if you transition into a woman, which is funny because in a way it’s more progressive than the US

      You’re allowed to marry (or just date, or fuck) whoever you want in the US, regardless of the gender of anyone involved. Meanwhile in Iran being gay carries the death penalty.

        As long as you don’t care about the social consequences, sure. But even that, not for very much longer.

      Iran forcing gay people to transition or face a potential death penalty is incredibly regressive.

        Not saying it’s a good thing. I just consider it ironic taking into account the extremely transphobic political atmosphere in the US right now.
