    I had this idea, I didn't ask for it it just came into my head fully formed, of a conservative Muslim country that was inexplicably radically progressive on Trans issues. Kid goes up to their dad and says, "Dad, I think I'm trans." Dad sighs with relief, "Oh, for a second there I thought you were gay. It's okay to be trans! Trans women are women... now you have to wear the hijab."
    Cut to like a trans guy, he's got his shirt off you can see his mastectomy scars, and he's just got his arms folded like, "Yeah ladies, put on the hijab."
