'Malaysia transsexuals lose cross-dressing case'

Doctor Faustus · Oct 11, 2012

Four Malaysian Muslim transsexuals have lost a legal challenge to an Islamic law that bars them from dressing as women.

The four Muslims identify themselves as female and have been repeatedly arrested for wearing women's clothes and hair accessories.

They appealed to a secular court to overturn the Islamic Sharia law making it illegal for men to pose as women.

People convicted under this law can be jailed or fined.

But the high court in Seremban, Negri Sembilan state, denied the petitioners' case to declare the Sharia law - used by Muslims in religious courts - as unconstitutional.

This is just another reason to oppose theocracies.

The irony of course, is that this forces trans men and women to crossdress.
