Not really related to the quiz, but an interesting fact I learned about Iran yesterday: it performs the second-highest number of sex change operations in the world (after Thailand) and this is entirely condoned by the government. Countries we in the West think of as absurdly conservative and oppressive can have surprisingly progressive approaches to some things, such as gender.

@withouts...Do you have a list of sex change operations per country? That would be an interesting quiz.

@withouts, @kittens: iirc, these aren't unrelated. Homosexuality is not officially accepted in Iran, but transgenderism is - so for anyone gay, a sex change can be the socially acceptable "solution". So many people who might not go down that road in the West will choose it (or be pushed into it) in Iran...
