Original Note:
Homosexuality is harshly punished in Iran, but the fact stated in this tweet is accurate: Iran's government subsidizes gender-affirmation surgery for trans persons. https://www.dw.com/en/iran-how-transgender-people-survive-ultraconservative-rule/a-57480850 https://qz.com/889548/everyone-treated-me-like-a-saint-in-iran-theres-only-one-way-to-survive-as-a-transgender-person/ That Iran's policy is "forcing" gay men and women to transition is argued only by RW tabloid The Sun https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10998169/iran-gay-people-gender-reassignment-surgery/
