Some young boys in Afghanistan are
forcibly adorned with makeup and made to wear gaily colored women’s clothing
while dancing and entertaining before groups of powerful men through the
practice of Bacha Bazi. The ancient, barbaric, and bizarre practice, whose
name translates to 'boy play,’ frequently renders them nothing more than sex slaves for the elite. Though Afghanistan's
Taliban leadership purports to oppose it, Bacha Bazi continues to
exist as an open secret.
This is extremely disturbing. Couldn’t
these ‘powerful, elite’ men just put their goats in a dress and get their
jollies that way? Leave the kids out of it, for the love of Allah! It’s bad
enough to be one or the other, but to be both a transgender-loving sexual harasser
and a pedophile is a bit much.
Many of the more radical transgender
activists in the U.S. publicly state their affinity for Hamas and other Middle
Eastern terrorist groups. Perhaps they’d like to travel to Afghanistan and
entertain the troops, so-to-speak. Forced transvestitism seems like something
they might be okay with.
On second thought, they’d probably
just want to dance for the kids. Or read to them.
