Iran: "Ho realizzato il mio sogno", la storia di chi ha cambiato sesso
Se gli omosessuali in Iran devono nascondersi, i transessuali possono legalmente cambiare sesso. Il Paese condivide con la Thailandia il primato del più alto numero annuale di interventi chirurgici per la riassegnazione del genere con cliniche specializzate. Sono tante le storie di uomini diventati donne, ma la strada non è tutta in discesa.“Quando ho saputo che l’operazione chirurgica era lecita, la mia vita è cambiata, ho capito che non sarei mai piu stato Amir. Ho potuto realizzare il mio sogno”, racconta Tarane Aram. “Non ho nessun rimpianto, ma devo dire che senza il sostegno dei miei amici non sarei riuscita a sopravvivere dopo l’operazione. Mia madre ha chiamato l’ospedale solo per sapere se mi ero risvegliata dall’anestesia, poi il silenzio”. In Iran cambiare sesso è una pratica non solo diffusa ma sostenuta dallo Stato che rimborsa metà delle spese dell’intervento. Nel Corano non esiste nessun divieto. “Nell’Islam esiste un principio che stabilisce che tutto è permesso a meno che non vi siano forti argomenti contrari o un divieto stabilito dalla legge” spiega Ayatollah Yousef Saanei.

FBI rescues 149 children, arrests 153 in operation targeting sex-traffickers
Working with state and local authorities, the FBI has rescued 149 sexually exploited children and arrested 153 pimps and sex traffickers in a coordinated action across 135 US cities dubbed ‘Operation Cross Country IX.’
The ninth Operation Cross Country effort took place from October 6-10, and was the largest such coordinated action against sex trafficking to date, the FBI said. The operation, part of the FBI's Innocence Lost National Initiative, was aided by other federal law enforcement agencies and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
More than 500 law enforcement agents took part in the operation, which targeted frequent spots for child trafficking dealings, including casinos, hotels, and truck stops. The youngest of the 149 victims recovered was 12 years old. Three victims were transgender, and three were male.
