This research will look into the situation of the transgender community across several countries in the Arab world with a primary focus on the Gulf Cooperation Council states (the Kingdom of Bahrain, State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) while taking into account some countries in the Levant area of the Arab world such as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Lebanese Republic, and even mentioning the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Turkey, Middle Eastern but non-Arab countries, as a point of comparison. The objective is to study and determine the state of transgender rights and liberties across said region. This will be done by exploring the notable legal, societal and religious aspects regarding transgendered people in the aforementioned countries. The sources used in this research will consist mainly of official state laws, policies and regulations, newspaper articles, health information websites, a survey and excerpts of interviews with transgendered individuals. I will show that transgendered individuals and the very community itself are still largely discriminated against, widely persecuted and misunderstood in the Arab world and continue to face systematic intolerance, prejudice and oppression.
