Jordan thinks Iran's women's football team's goalkeeper is a man

It's not the first time such claims have been made.

But Iran is starkly different from neighbouring Arab countries because they recognise transexuals.

Although it is a usual tactic of pariah states to try to game the system for political reasons.

I can’t imagine, given its strict religious laws, that there are any transgender people in Iran.

There are plenty, mate. It is a misconception that Iran is anti-transexual. However, their interpretation of this means that homosexuals are forced into changing genders.

The gay people pushed to change their gender

In Iran, gay people are often told they are trapped in the 'wrong body' and pressured into changing their gender - and sometimes the only way out is to run.

The Inalienable Rights scene from todays legal proceedings between the Jordan Football Association (represented by a bod called "Reg") Vs The Football Association of Iran (represented obviously by a guy called "Stan") that was heard by the Asian Football Confederation.

(A huge Asian amphitheatre, sparsely attended. REG, FRANCIS, JUDITH and STAN from IRAN
are seated in the stands. They speak conspiratorially.)

Judith: Any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must *reflect* such a
divergence of interests within its power-base.

Reg: Agreed.
(General nodding.)
Francis?

Francis: I think Judith's point of view is valid here, Reg, provided the
Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every
man--

Stan from Iran: Or woman.

Francis: Or woman...to rid himself--

Stan from Iran: Or herself.

Reg: Or herself. Agreed. Thank you, brother.

Stan from Iran: Or sister.

Francis: Thank you, brother. Or sister. Where was I?

Reg: I thought you'd finished.

Francis: Oh, did I? Right.

Reg: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man ...

Stan from Iran: Or woman.

Reg: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan, you're putting us off.

Stan from Iran: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement and to play for the Iranian national woman's football team , Reg.

Francis: Why are you always on about women and football, Stan?

Stan from Iran: (pause) I want to be one.

(pregnant pause)

Reg: What?

Stan: I want to be a woman and play for the Iranian national woman's football team. From now on I want you all to call me Loretta.

Reg: What!?

Stan from Iran: It's my right as a man.

Judith: Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

Stan from Iran: I want to have babies.

Reg: You want to have babies?!?!?!

Stan from Iran: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them and to play for the Iranian national woman's football team .

Reg: But you can't have babies.

Stan from Iran: Don't you oppress me.

Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan -- you haven't got a womb. Where's the
fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?

(Stan starts crying.)

Judith: Here! I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually
have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the
Persians', but that he can have the *right* to have babies and play for the Iranian national woman's football team.

Francis: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors of Jordan for your right to
have babies and to play for the Iranian national woman's football team, brother. Sister, sorry.

Reg: (pissed) What's the *point*?

Francis: What?

Reg: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies and to play for the Iranian national woman's football team, when he can't have babies or play for the fuckin Iranian national woman's football team?

Francis: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

Reg: It's symbolic of his struggle against reality.
