Lotsa dudes play soccer in Iran...

[Parliament 14128]

...on the WOMEN'S national team.

The Iranian "women's" soccer team has found a loophole. Instead of comprising a team of actual women, they have added on eight full grown men who they claim are transgender and awaiting sex changes.

"The country's football association was accused of being 'unethical' for knowingly fielding eight men in its women's team," reports The Telegraph.

“[Eight players] have been playing with Iran’s female team without completing sex change operations," said Mojtabi Sharifi, an official described as "close to the Iranian league."

Members of the national team were ordered on Wednesday to undergo gender testing. Iran's soccer governing body implemented random checks in 2014 after four women's team players were discovered to be biological men who never underwent a sex change.

And here's something I did not know:

Shockingly, in Iran, sex changes are not only legal by fatwa, they are rampant. In fact, Iran takes a backseat only to Thailand when it comes to the number of sex change operations. This is mostly due to religious codes against homosexuality; gay people are often pressured into "transitioning" to avoid penalty of death if they were to act on their homosexuality.

"Iran is one of a handful of countries where homosexual acts are punishable by death," explained a 2014 report from the BBC. "Clerics do, however accept the idea that a person may be trapped in a body of the wrong sex. So homosexuals can be pushed into having gender reassignment surgery - and to avoid it many flee the country."
