An Indonesian TikToker has been sentenced to almost three years in prison after reportedly ‘talking’ to a picture of Jesus on her phone and telling him to get a haircut.

Ratu Thalisa, a Muslim transgender woman with more than 442,000 TikTok followers, had been on a livestream, and was responding to a comment that told her to cut her hair to look more like a man.

    Being trans isn’t against any rules of Islam,

    Uh… Muslim here, it absolutely is.

    Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed those men who are effeminate, and women who imitate men.

      Also, to those randomly up voting this “as a black man” level post, use Google for the first time in your life. Don’t take random bigots at their word. Use additional sources instead of an out of context Hadith that practically no scholar in the last 200 years pays attention to.

        that practically no scholar in the last 200 years pays attention to.

        This is an oxymoron. A (sahih) hadith that no scholar pays attention to literally doesn’t exist. I have also seen this particular hadith quoted before (that’s why I could answer with it off the top of my head), so yeah. Maybe you and your immediate community are different, but Islam as a whole does not accept the act of transitioning.

          The Muslim community as a whole doesn’t agree on anything except the existence of Allah. There’s a billion Muslims, most aren’t extremist bigots, and even in areas with extremists, they can to tolerate trans people (again see Pakistan).

          The religion isn’t the problem, neither is the culture necessarily given homosexuality is common to this day.

          It’s like saying all Buddhists are pedophiles because tibetan Buddhists had child sex slaves.

      Those aren’t trans people, however.
