Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Pretty sure this is the actual reason.
Being trans isn't against any rules of Islam, hell Pakistan has more out trans women than the UK does, and stricter laws protecting them. Indonesia isn't much different given the preexisting (relative to Islam) culture that supports the existence of trans people.
You accidentally a racism here.
Indonesia however does have stupidly strict blasphemy laws in relation to preventing religious discrimination in any direction.
Now I admit I’m a cis white man from ‘Murica, and my understanding of foreign affairs sometimes lacks, but it looks to me that transgender people get the shit-end of the stick in both Indonesian and Muslim cultures.
