#5 Some clerics now even recommend sex-change operations to those who are troubled about their gender.

Or those who wish to drive, or vote, or...

#6 if memory serves me, the late Ayatollah Khomeni recommended that young boys could be considered 'girls' temporarily for the purpose of older men using them for sex; the idea was to get around a set of sharia prohibitions on homosexuality

#8 Lol! So I shoulda directed to DF. The sex-change topic is uninteresting to me - the under the burqas comment is - I've seen the remarkable number of Fredericks-style lingerie shops in Saudi. They may look like ninjas on the outside, but there's definitely something else happening underneath to support all those stores, heh. Ya gotta see how many there are to believe it. And I decided not to repost the image(s) sans request, heh. So sue me tu!
