| Tired of male domination, 5 Saudi women change sex |
| 2006-04-03 |
| RIYADH (Reuters) - Tired of playing second fiddle to men in conservative Saudi Arabia, five women decided if you can't beat them, join them... Al Watan newspaper said the five women underwent sex change surgery abroad over the past 12 months after they developed a "psychological complex" due to male domination. Women in Saudi Arabia, which adopts an austere interpretation of Islam, are not allowed to drive or even go to public places unaccompanied by a male relative. The newspaper quoted a senior cleric as saying the authorities have to fill what he described as a legal vacuum by issuing laws against sex change operations. An interior ministry official told al Watan such cases are examined by religious authorities, and sometimes by psychologists, but those who undergo sex change are never arrested. The mullahs are really looking to fill a vaccuum? Probably cause with fewer women to vaccuum they need to be more efficient. Hoover or Dirt Devil? |

| #4 Sing to "Gilligan's Island" Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a foreign land. That has a most true tropic clime, where bikinis can't be seen. The king was a corrupt oil man, the crown prince followed suit. Five women said, "We've had enough!" "We'll change our pluming now, change our plumbing now!" The mullahs started getting mad, there was no law against. "If we don't stop all this madness now, Paradise would be lost; Paradise would be lost." The mullahs set forth to fill the serious legal vacuum there, Where kites are banned, and chess is too, Cut out your tongue...if you sing, Where movies are banned, The women all wear big black tents, there Saudi Land! |

| #3 I don't remember exactly because I've got a short attention span born of too much surfing on cheezy porn sites, but there has been at least one story here of the iranian MM forcing homosexuals to undergo sex change operation, male to female. |

| #2 But they need to allow the men to women change because when an Iman gets caught having sex with a guy, they can change the guy into a woman and not have to discipline the Iman. This (that is the w to m change to evade sin) has actually taken place a few times in various parts of the Islamic world. |
