    … Iran, where it’s free, but surgery is mandatory and being gay is punishable by death?

    It’s free because it’s the “sentence” for being gay. Get an operation or be executed.

      I’m not quite sure how punitive it is. Basically they fully acknowledge trans people, but not homosexuality, so everyone gets pushed into the trans category.

      Yes, the point is a binary trans Iranian who wants surgery is less oppressed in Iran on the axis of being trans than in America, but they’re quite obviously worse for someone in nearly any other position.
