My take

Some movies really make you question. This one did that for me. Question my traditions. Question the traditions in Iran. Gender is incredibly confusing. They're orders of magnitude more conservative than us, yet encourage transgender care. That said, what an incredible woman making brave changes in the face of great stubernness and even violence.
