Aaand this is depressing: Iraq’s Newly Open Gays Face Scorn and Murder. While the article says "gay men" it's pretty obvious that some are (also) transgendered.
Also from the NYT: A Passover Song is beautiful and well-worth reading. And then go check out A Facebook Haggadah because it's hilarious.

I'm intrigued by the similarity some of the situations bear to descriptions of queer culture in North America a few decades ago. Police keeping people from meeting in cafés and so forth...the gathering of transgenderism and homosexuality under the "gay" label is similar too, I suppose. The family- and death squad-initiated murders perhaps not quite so much. :|
