If you can’t beat them, join them:
Five Saudi women have undergone sex change operations because they developed a psychologic complex in the male-dominated Muslim society, a newspaper reported on Monday.
Al Watan newspaper quoted psychology expert Mohamed Abdelmawjoud as saying the operations took place over a year’s period. Authorities did not bother any of them, according to the report.
An interior ministry official told the paper such cases are examined by religious authorities, and sometimes by psychologists, but never get arrested.
But a senior cleric said authorities have to fill a legal vacuum by issuing laws against sex change operations.
I imagine clerics are now engaged in a frantic search through the Koran and the hadiths to find some relevant quotation to justify a ban. How could the All-Seeing One not have seen this coming?
