The law as mentioned in the Gulf news and other English and Arabic sources, where the text was not manipulated by the author, this version is clearly talking about transgender cases without any doubt, and this was confirmed a few days later when another report spread about the first Emirati transman (referred to as a woman) to file a lawsuit with Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance to obtain an order allowing him to undergo a sex change operation. His lawyer files the lawsuit based on the new rule, and all the reports confirmed that it is a transgender case, although some of them were against it. The court set September 28th to look into the case. I am very anxious to know and write to you about the final decision, which – if hopefully approved – will be the first approved case in UAE, and will finally lead to a new and brighter future for trans people in the whole Middle East. Until then, I’ll keep praying.
