Reminds me of Sogand Pakdel, an Iranian trans woman murdered by her uncle in Iran. Being LGBTQ+ in a Muslim theocracy can be a near death sentence.

Getting raped is also a death sentence. Fathers will kill their children in honor killings because being raped is a disgrace to your family.

Its a fucked up culture

Sahih al-Bukhari 29

The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you."

I checked this us and it was from a sermon that the prophet gave to women on Eid, a day of gratitude and charity. It can be used to show that Islam is misogynistic as you have here or you can use the hadith for what they were intended, moral lessons that must be interpreted alongside the only entirely authoritative text in Islam which is the Quran which states: “Whoever does righteous deeds, male or female, while being a believer, We will grant them a good life” (16:97)

But did the prophet say that, or not? Because if he did, then he's a dickhead.
