A certification available to trans-identified individuals from the Legal Medicine Organization of Iran opens many doors for trans-identified persons, including authorization for GCS, hormonal procedures, state- provided health insurance, social work support, financial assistance in the form of subsidies for housing and sexual reassignment surgery, exemption from obligatory military service, issuance of new identification records, and the ability to legally wear clothing associated with one’s gender identity (Najmabadi, 2011).	cache/cswr-1868.pdf	txt/cswr-1868.txt
