Tehran has become the sex change capital of the world. The Independent's Caroline Mangez investigates. Iran is a country of light and shade, with harsh oppression living alongside startling liberty.
And all makes Iran far more complex than the Western media allows. So what's new, I guess? A cradle of civilisation said to be little more than a threat to a small upstart, the US and Israeli. Puts things in perspective...
this was never a piece about transexuals but one that is really about how women are so oppressed in this fanatical theocracy with men who have a medieval concept of equality that women have no other route out but to have a sex change. eeew how awful it must be.
that is its underlying message. one more reason, we are made to believe, for the justified regime change that the news media are helping us to accept ..
the observer is a keen supporter of the war in iraq .. lets not forget.
