Dutch filmmakers Negin Kianfar and Daisy Mohr take viewers inside the experience of young Iranian men who decide to become women. As noted here before, sex change operations in Iran are legal, sanctioned by none other than Khomenei himself.
If you don't speak Farsi or Dutch, the documentary "The Birthday" may be bit tough to follow, but it's worth it even for the on-the-street, behind-closed-doors, and in-the-operating-room visuals. Watching conservative Iranian parents try to come to terms with their son's decision is particularly interesting. Heading into doctor's office is also eye-opening. And simply walking the streets of Iranian cities like Qom offers a window into a world we rarely see.

Absolutely fascinating. I watched the whole thing and followed along as best I could not knowing Dutch, but I got a lot out of it nevertheless.
Thanks for posting it.

Birthday - the most important holiday in the life of every person, because it is a personal celebration, this anniversary of the appearance of man on earth. Ambient hasten to congratulate the "baby", to say the kind only he (or she) would provide the words. It should be noted that the birthday greetings sound different depending on whom congratulations.

I definitely hadn't idea the discrimination that this kind of persons suffer in countries like Iran. I knew the transsexuals live difficult situations during their adaptation process, but what the video displays is too much.
Who have had the opportunity to watch the documentary know what I'm talking about.

It is difficult for me to understand that culture, Where homosexuality is a crime and sex change is allowed.
Eventhou, discrimination is everywhere.
