After watching the documentary about this man's work in Iran, I feel he is a real shining light.

He does not shy from expressing his logical and matter-of-fact views about the need for a more tolerant, accepting society and one can see his desire that transsexuals live a happy life - integrated socially and with their families.

The system is not perfect but, within the limits he is allowed, he seems to do everything he can to help our transsexual brothers and sisters.
