Safiya & I conclude our series on the Abrahamic faiths & their relationship to homosexuality with this- an exploration of homosexuality within the Islamic tradition. Drawing from Judaic & Christian foundations, but also from disparate other sources, Islam has developed a distinct relationship with transgenderism & sexual orientations. Safiya explains why the population of Pakistan is upwards of 10% what we would called 'transgender' in the west & also reveals the nuanced understanding of gender re-assignment in Iran; why the western perspective is inadequate.
