  • The situation of trans peoplem in Turkey is interesting. They were much more dominant part of society much earlier than in the west. It was completly normal in many parts of Istanbul to see trans people in the 1980s already. Trans people were also big part of pop culture quite early, Bülent Ersoy for example became a trans superstar in the 1980s. Gender change is legal since 1988 (much earlier than many EU countries).

    At the same time, there defintly are a lot of social repercussions against trans people.

    It is quite the mixed pack tbh.

    I could maybe understand it, if it was a problematic pregnancy. Like, the wife of a friend of mine had to lie in a hospital bed for several weeks before giving birth to reduce the risk of premature birth. You’ll want to spend as much time there as possible, but after sitting in a room together for weeks, this might start to sound like a good idea,
