La Transexualidad en Irán ; artículo de opinión de Morales de Urioste
La República Islámica de Irán posee una de las legislaciones más progresistas y avanzadas del mundo respecto a la transexualidad. En 1983 el líder espiritual de la revolución iraní, el Ayatolá Jomeini, emitió la fatua en la que se reconoce que los transexuales tienen derecho a operarse y a obtener una nueva identidad. Desde entonces los distintos gobiernos de Irán han ido desarrollando y ampliando las políticas sociales y sanitarias de apoyo y protección para con los transexuales. Tras el ascenso de Mahmud Ahmadinejad al poder en 2005, las ayudas a la reasignación de género se han incrementado considerable, lo que ha convertido a Irán en un referente internacional.
