Newer law has been passed. "They banned it. My friends are trans and it is illegal here to change your gender. You need to go through doctor of shariah to see your private parts and then he will decide if that person deserves to change his gender based on his private parts. Which is unethical and unacceptable! My friends are suffering due to this! Only 3 cases won the rest are banned. And it needs lots of money. They see you as something against their beliefs and religion so they make it harder for you. Even if you are not muslim. "
