Saman Arastu, a transgender individual in Iran, expressed concerns regarding the government’s recent initiative to provide surgical procedures for transgender individuals. The program involves offering gender-affirming surgeries to transgender individuals, with a stated goal of improving their well-being. However, reports suggest the operation is being disproportionately conducted on local residents, raising concerns about potential exploitation and the impact on the community. The government maintains the program is designed to provide vital medical care and support for transgender individuals, while authorities have not publicly detailed the specific implementation and impact on local populations.
