    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.

      You can upload literally anything on this site and it’ll be downvoted. Sometimes even for the content, usually just because creeps will go back through your history and downvote everything you’ve posted for a week or two.

      I’m not worried about it, though.

      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.
