But that only made me all the more more desperate for him. At the time, I’d also begun finding out about Tehran's queer scene.

MP: I think all religions have managed to kind of bend their rules — or maybe it’s that queer people have kind of bent the rules of specific religions to match their sexuality.

The majority of trans women in Iran do get the surgery done, either in Tehran or in Thailand. After we had sex they’d do the little [Islamic] ritual shower — which I used to do when I was religious — and then offer their prayers.

It just gives you a set of rules and says, “This is it, or you burn in Hell.” That's just not how a free society works.
