  • Good news, in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, being transgender is a protected class, you can change your gender legally by just going to the government identity office (nadra) and sex reassignment surgery is perfectly legal and practiced. This was put into law by the Transgender Person (Protection of Rights) Act 2018 but that was really just a codifying of a 2010 supreme court case. And even the Islamist opponents of the bill didn’t want it struck down but to add a medical board to disallow self-determination. Its one of the most liberal trans rights laws in the world, and by far the most I’m a Muslim country. It’s not all sunshine and roses though, there aren’t any criminal penalties in the law for example, so the enforcement relied on prosecutors filing civil cases or injured parties filing cases. The social acceptance is far behind the progressiveness of the law too. However, trans people are pretty decently represented in the media too, though there is definitely an exploitation film aspect to it.






  • 2.2 million compared to the 33 million population of the province of KPK. The same proportion in Gaza would be 120k people. Moreover, the token Arabs in the IDF are not comparable to the likes of the Frontier Corps, the Pakistan Rangers or the IX Corp.

    There is a reason that Pakistan eventually fully integrated the ‘federally administered’ tribal areas. Just ask America what happens when you send in a bunch of troops that can’t even begin to pronounce the language, nevermind understand local culture.


  • No dumbass. What I meant was that the Pakistani Army specifically used natives of KPK in their attack, y’know so that it was certain that they would care about the civilians since they were the soldiers’ own people. Obviously IDF soldiers do not consider Palestinian kin, as proven by the 200 or more Palestinians killed every year. And obviously the IDF couldn’t give 2 shits about their conduct towards the Arabs.

    And no the population didn’t leave? Where the fuck did you get that from. It was bloody urban fighting all the way down the valley and up the glaciers and mountain sides. And no how would you separate the Taliban from the civilians, cause they were also mostly locals.

    And yes Pakistani troops are better behaved in their own country. As proven by the ongoing military occupation of multiple northern territories as well as a mission to police Karachi. Go to currently occupied, previously Taliban controlled territory, every shop shutter is covered in Praise for the Army.
