Ickplant I feel bad for you. You keep trying to make wholesome posts but you end inadvertently triggering discourse. First pit bull discourse and now hijab discourse.
Edit: Comments are reopened.
Fuck religion that even makes this gesture possible
Fuck people that want to tell women what not to wear. You are doing the same like those forcing a hijab.
Most women choose to wear hijab and are defending the right to do so.
Nobody here is telling women what not to wear though. “You are doing the same like thlse forcing a hijab?” jose1324 isn’t killing people for wearing them
An incredibly moving moment that this person will never forget. 💜
Forgive my ignorance but can anyone explain what happened in this interraction?
It would be against Islam for a woman to show herself (without a head covering) to a man she wasn’t married/related to. This isn’t true for woman and other woman. This person is trans and their friend treated them, through religious tradition, that she accepts her friend as a woman.
Which means, in effect, that their friend is saying “My belief that you are truly a woman is at least as strong as my belief in my god,” which is an incredibly powerful way to validate someone’s identity.
Which is why it didn’t happen lol, especially when the religion and culture is very anti trans.
And everyone in the coffee shop stood up and applauded, i.e., this never happened.
