I am happy to see somebody challenging laws of littergy in Islamic religion.We need to accept that, human with gender identity is more dangerous than sea creatures with gender fluidity. More than Amrouh coming out of closet it was his mother who spoke her heart, suppressed in a social closet.Gender identity is innocous but religious identity is abominable...Let's put science to religion to save our mother earth and save people like Amrouh.....
