Talk about transvestites<\/p>\n
SEMARANG, Central Java: The Muhammadiyah Moslem organization
\nis calling on religious leaders, psychologists, medical
\npractitioners and the public at large to discuss the role of
\ntransvestites in society, Antara reported yesterday.<\/p>\n
The agency quoted Munawar Sholeh, secretary of the
\norganization's Central Java chapter, as saying that Islam teaches
\nthat God creates only men and women. Transvestites, he said,
\ndeviate from this because they are men who feel like women.<\/p>\n
He said that the transvestite beauty pageant that is to be
\nheld here next month could have a negative outcome since feminine
\nbeauty will be the measure of the men's success.<\/p>\n
He called for a seminar to discuss the role of transvestites
\nin society. "Results from the seminar could help us decide how to
\ntackle the problem," Munawar said.<\/p>\n
Munawar suggested that special rehabilitation centers could
\npossibly be set up to help correct the "mental state" of
\ntransvestites. (14)<\/p>",
