Be Like Others: Transsexuals in Iran

In Iran, according to Islamic law, homosexuality is punishable by death. However, sex-change operations are not only legal, they are embraced by a society that accepts male or female, but nothing in between. This is an intimate, yet alarming, exploration of the grip of Iranian theocracy and the power of internalized shame and the lengths some people will go to conform.
