I feel like moiz mehrub awan adds so much fuel to transphobic hate with her joking/trolling responses and that distresses me…I’ve never seen paki awam be so intensely hateful and it keeps getting worse

Pathetic! This is a huge loss for the young audience who would have gained fascinating insights from Dr. Mehrub Moiz Awan’s talk. I was supposed to be a speaker at the event but will boycott it in solidarity with Dr. Awan and the trans community. https://t.co/OiLD1YDm6E

hard pill to swallow but you can’t be a feminist and a muslim because Islam is not a religion of equality when it comes to men and women so when TERF muslim women tell others you can’t be gender or sexual fluid and be a muslim you tell them that #mehrubmoizawan

“International School Lahore, Maria B, and hateful and evil bigots like these so-called doctors and psychologists who have been spreading endless lies and hatred about transgender people, may you all rot in the deepest pits of hell.”

Dr. Mehrub has also challenged all of the arguments, arguing that his own extravagant opinions on drugs and religion are just fancy English terms that mask his genuine feelings. The internet is now rife with conflicting viewpoints. Some people have shown support for Dr. Mehrub Moiz. Others have taken Maria B’s side.

“This is my video for all of you transphobic bigots – there’s a lot of emotion in it and I pray to the Almighty to rain his wrath on you. For every trans murder that happens now, the blood is on your hands,” she cleared the air once and for all.
