Iran’s military will no longer classify transgender people as “mentally disturbed,” said Hasan Mousavi Chelk, who heads the Socially Vulnerable Groups section of the State Agency for National Well-Being.
Chelk said Jan. 6 that putting such a determination on transgender people’s military discharge papers creates problems for them.
From now on, transgender people being separated from the military will be labeled as “diabetics” or “people with a hormonal imbalance,” he said.
