Maryam Khatoon Molkara

DOB :1950

Known for :Iran's first Trans muslim woman who successfully change her gender legally.

Occupation :Trans Activist,Rights Advocate

Spouce :Mohammad

Religion :Islam

Gender :Woman

Sexuality :Straight

Ethnicity :Persian

Death :2012

Maryam Khatoon Molkara (also known as Maryam Khatoonpour Molkara) was a campaigner for trans rights in Iran, where she is widely recognized as a matriarch of the transgender community.She was later instrumental in obtaining a letter which acted as a Fatwa enabling sex reassignment surgery to exist as part of a legal framework.

Early life

Maryam Khatoon Molkara was born in 1950, she was the only child of her father's second of eight wives.Her father was a landowner. Maryam says she always preferred clothes, toys, & activities that were traditionally for girls.In her adolescence, Maryam went to parties dressed as a woman.She was often tortured & bullied for her feminine behavior. When she came out to her mother,her mother refused to accept Maryam's gender identity.This made her decide to take feminizing hormone, instead of immediately seeking out a gender affirming surgery.

Legal Recognition of Gender Identity in Iran

In 1975, Molkara traveled to London where she “learned about transsexuality & realized that she was not a passive homosexual. Molkara started to write letters to Shia Cleric Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then in exile in Iraq, asking for religious advice about being assigned the wrong gender at birth.In one of these letters, she said that her gender identity had been clear since she was two years old, as she used to apply chalk to her face to imitate putting on make-up. Khomeini had already written in 1963 that corrective surgeries for intersex people are not against Islamic law, & his answer was based on this existing idea rather than developing a new fatwa for transgender people.He suggested she live as a woman, which included dressing as one.

After this, she met with Farah Pahlavi, who gave her support towards Molkara and other transgender individuals wanting sex reassignment surgery.In 1978, she traveled to Paris, where Khomeini was then based, to try to make him aware about transgender rights.After the Islamic Revolution, Molkara started to face intense backlash due to her gender identity. She underwent arrests, and death threats. She was fired from her job at the Iranian National Radio and Television, forced to wear masculine clothing,injected with male hormones against her will, & detained in a psychiatric institution. Eventually she was released from jail because of her good contacts with religious leaders, such as Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

Molkara continued to campaign for her right to get gender-affirming surgery. In 1985, she confronted Khomeini in his home in North Tehran.She wore a man's suit, carried the Quran, and she tied shoes around her neck. This was a reference to the Ashura festival, and also indicated that she was looking for refuge.Maryam Khatoon Molkara was held back and beaten by homophobic security guards until Khomeini's brother Hassan Pasandide intervened.He took Molkara into his house, where she pleaded her case, yelling "I'm a woman, I'm a woman!" His security guards were suspicious about her chest, as they thought she could be carrying explosives.She revealed they were her breasts, as she developed them using hormone therapy.After listening her story, Ahmad Khomeini was touched & took Maryam to speak to his father, where he asked 3 of his doctors about the surgery in an attempt to make a well-informed decision.Khomeini then decided to permit sex reassignment surgery by issuing a fatwa.She left Khomeini’s house victoriously. She had a letter in her hand addressed to the Chief Prosecutor & the head of Medical Ethics giving a fatwa (a religious authorization) for her & for all those like her to have their gender surgically reassigned. That one daring step by Maryam changed the dynamics and made history in Shia Islam.

Maryam lobbied for the according medical knowledge & procedures to be implemented in Iran, and worked on helping other trans people have access to gender-affirmative surgeries.

However, Maryam completed her gender affirming surgery from Thailand in 1997, due to "unhappiness with procedures in her native country''.The Iranian govt paid for her surgery, and she was able to help establish government funding for many other trans individual's surgeries.

Trans Rights Adocacy

Maryam was a prominent advocate for trans rights & gender affirmative care.Maryam started her activism in Iran during the early days of the Islamic revolution.

In 2007, she founded and subsequently ran the Iranian Society to Support Individuals with Gender Identity Disorder (Persian: حمایت از بیماران مبتلا به اختلالا�� هویت جنسی ایران).This was the first state-approved transgender organization in Iran.Before this, she used her own property in Karaj to help other trans people receive legal advice & medical care, including post-op care.She continued her fight to advance the situation of transgender people in Iran.She also helped many incarcerated trans people in Iran.

Marriage

Maryam got married in a traditional Islamic way (nikah) to a government officer named Mohammad, in Tehran.

Death

Maryam Khatoon Molkara died in 2012, after suffering from a heart attack at the age of 62.

Failure

Lagi dengerin podcast Temani tema Failure. Relate banget.

Betapa banyak kegagalan yang kita hadapi selama hidup hingga akhirnya membuat kita overthinking.

Padahal kalau mencoba lebih tenang, ada banyak pencapaian-pencapain baru yang luput dari penglihatan karena fokus kepada kegagalan itu.

Hidup itu indah karena ada gagal dan berhasilnya.

Yang pasti gagalnya kita itu perlu dilihat dengan proses yang utuh. Allah melihatnya bukan dari hasil tapi prosesnya.

Sejauh mana usaha kita? sejauh mana kita bersabar? sejauh mana kita bersyukur atas hasil yang di dapat?

Kalaupun ditemukan kesulitan dalam prosesnya, Ingatlah Surat Al-Insyirah, :

"Sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan."

bahkan Allah mengulangnya 2 kali.

Mumpung masih di dunia, tidak ada kata terlambat untuk menjadi lebih baik lagi. Karena kegagalan yang nyata itu adalah :

Dan (alangkah ngerinya), jika sekiranya kamu melihat ketika orang-orang berdosa itu menundukkan kepalanya di hadapan Rabbnya, (mereka berkata), “Wahai Rabb kami, kami telah melihat dan mendengar, maka kembalikanlah kami ke dunia. Kami akan mengerjakan amal shaleh. Sesungguhnya kami adalah orang-orang yakin" (As-Sajdah : 32)

Ada yang dari kecil sudah hafal Al-Quran, ada yang dari kecil hafal banyak hadis. Namun ada yang ketika remaja baru hijrah, memperbaiki tahsin, menghapus tato, berbuat kebajikan. Bahkan ada yang sudah memasuki usia senja, begitu bahagianya membaca Al-Quran, menyetorkan hafalan, dan berlomba-lomba dalam sedekah.

Semua ada masanya, tidak semua hal dilihat dari ukuran manusia. Karena sejatinya semua sama di mata Allah, yang membedakan hanyalah ketakwaan semata.

The National Assembly has come under intense scrutiny following its quick approval of President Bola Tinubu's loan requests, pushing Nigeria's debt profile to an unprecedented N138 trillion. Stakeholders and economic experts have expressed concerns over the legislature’s perceived lack of due diligence in evaluating the nation’s borrowing plans, warning of dire consequences for Nigeria's economy. Rapid Loan Approvals Under Fire In November, the Senate and House of Representatives approved President Tinubu’s $2.2 billion (N1.77 trillion) loan request within 48 hours. This loan, embedded in the 2024 fiscal year’s external borrowing plan, was presented in a report by Senator Aliyu Wamakko, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts. Read Also : 15,000 Applicants Race for 900 Oyo State Civil Service Jobs: Aptitude Test Date Revealed While Senate President Godswill Akpabio described the loan as a critical component of the administration's fiscal strategy, critics argue that the expedited approval reflects a troubling lack of legislative oversight. Mounting Debt and Legislative Endorsements As of June 2024, Nigeria’s public debt stood at N134 trillion. However, with the latest borrowing approvals in July and November, the debt has now reached N138 trillion. FG Backtracks, Says FAAC Allocation To Rivers State Continues, Gives Reasons Key loans approved by the legislature include the securitisation of N7.3 trillion in Central Bank Ways and Means advances and $7.8 billion earmarked for the 2022-2024 borrowing plan. Additionally, a $800 million World Bank loan and N500 billion for subsidy removal palliatives have raised questions about accountability and the actual benefits to Nigerians. Criticism of Oversight Failures Civil society organisations and economic analysts have accused the National Assembly of neglecting its oversight duties. Auwal Rafsanjani, Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), expressed disappointment in the legislature’s role. “Lawmakers have become mere rubber stamps, approving loans without scrutinising their necessity or potential impacts. This undermines their constitutional responsibility to provide checks and balances,” Rafsanjani said. Legal expert Victor Opatola echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the Assembly must interrogate financial requests before granting approval. “The National Assembly is constitutionally empowered to evaluate loan proposals. This includes verifying the effective use of previously borrowed funds before approving new ones,” he stated. Economic Risks of Rising Debt Economists have warned of severe repercussions if Nigeria's borrowing spree continues unchecked. Professor Sheriffdeen Tella of Olabisi Onabanjo University stressed the importance of ensuring that loans are effectively utilised. “It is troubling that loans are consistently approved without clear evidence of their impact on infrastructure and economic development,” Tella said. “Unchecked borrowing risks plunging the economy into long-term financial instability.” Other experts highlighted concerns about the mismanagement of borrowed funds and the lack of transparency in their utilisation. Calls for Accountability and Fiscal Discipline Observers argue that the National Assembly must take its oversight role seriously to prevent further economic decline. This includes scrutinising loan requests, ensuring transparency in fund allocation, and holding the executive accountable for mismanagement. The rising debt burden has sparked widespread calls for the legislature to prioritise the interests of Nigerians over political expediency.

The Iranian Revolution, also known as the Islamic revolution of 1979, was a series of events that culminated in the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979.

The revolution was sparked by decades of popular discontent, economic turmoil and an increasingly repressive regime under the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi,  and the establishment of an Islamic republic under the leadership of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

The Iranian Revolution had a profound impact on the country and the world, shaping Iran’s political landscape and international relations. It also led to debates over the form that an Islamic state should take and the role that religion should play in society, including gender relations.

In 2010, Dean Henderson published a book ‘Big Oil & Their Bankers In The Persian Gulf: Four Horsemen, Eight Families & Their Global Intelligence, Narcotics & Terror Network’.  On Friday he published excerpts from his book which describe Iran before the revolution.

The US Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”) created SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police, in 1957, which became known for its brutality and human rights abuses. Its agents were trained by the CIA and top brass were trained through USAID’s Public Safety Programme.

The Shah’s regime, supported by the CIA, dealt with peaceful protests with brutality, leading to the disappearance of dissenters and massacres like the 15th of Khordad Massacre in 1963.

A small group of elite families, close to the Shah, controlled the Iranian economy, with the Rafsanjani family being a notable example.

Multinational corporations, aided by US-taxpayer-guaranteed loans, established huge joint ventures in Iran, leading to an export-led development strategy that benefited a handful of Tehran elite.

This led to food deficits, with Iran importing basic foods like wheat and corn to feed its urbanised population, and the destruction of many villages, leading to a flood of destitute farmers into cities.

The New Middle East

Didn't Miss this Time

After accepting diplomatic invitation from Brehvnev, Ronald Reagan experienced a heart attack Air Force One and was unable to be revived.

RIP Reagan Ronald. Your policies will be felt to this day.

And congratulations to Bush.

The People's Liberate Persia

Khaemini, utilizing the actions of of his altruistic beings known as the Seven, to create an a new government referred to us Vought.

The great work carried out by these super ambassadors has stabilized Eastern Iran and its socialist government.

They are also allied with the House of the Dragon. This means that Ayatollah Khameini left his country in good hands with Vought, meaning that he is not the sole figurehead. France and the US have set up a blockade around the country for the time being until their motives can be understand.

However, he was kidnapped ... set into the dessert ... and a British Tungsten Missile (aka a Rod from God) was launched at him, killing him instantly.

Bani-Sadr is the established democratic president of Western Iran. He faced some trouble with LOVEMUFFIN but was saved by HATEMUFFIN? Another league of superheroes in the region who believe that other organizations exist in the region that must be taken care of.

Additionally, Saudi Arabia will ally with Western Iran to increase oil trade in the Shatt Al-Arab, increasing the wealth of both nations.

They now have troops moving toward Kuwait. DJ Khalid is supporting this?

Iraq is Not so Happy

Following his attempt to invade Syria, Khairallah got stranded. The Kurds pushed to Baghdad and have established a greater nation which cut Khairallah off from any type of retreat. His troops are now an insurgency in the Greater Syrian Nation.

Bargain has assumed control of this Great Kurdish State. As they move toward Baghdad, they have run into French Troops who want to take the Baghdad power plant which is a money maker for France.

Meanwhile, Saddam Hussein has been just chilling?

Liver Land

Working with Israel, Rafsanjani established a McDonalds in Liver Land. People are leaving this small area alone as it is acting as a refugee center.

Dragon Eggs

The House of the Dragon has created Dragon Eggs (nuclear weapons) and placed them on submarines. He has declared war on NATO and his first course of action will be to attack the Central Asian State that was newly established with the help of the US and attack Moscow. This will start a Cold War where the House of the Dragon has a chance to become a new superpower.

HE HOUSE OF THE DRAGON IS POWER. THE GOLDEN COMPANY IS POWER. CHINA IS POWER. AND MOST OF ALL, POWER IS POWER.
