This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you had to choose, you'd probably have less trouble for being trans than for being gay in Iran.

Due to this fatwa, issued in 1987, transgender women in Iran have been able to live as women until they can afford surgery, have surgical reassignment, have their birth certificates and all official documents issued to them in their new gender, and marry men.[12]

Still a shithole of a place to be in if you don't feel well conforming to the country's religious expectations, of course, just that Iran especifically is a rare case where being gay brings far more legal trouble.
