I don't think it's true AT ALL that this is transphobia.
Indonesian 'transwomen' are 'ladyboys' - effeminate homosexual men.
Historically large numbers of homosexual men in Indonesia, Thailand and other places have expressed their sexuality as ladyboys. This may be due to homophobia, as a 'ladyboy' is more acceptable than two male-presenting men in a sexual relationship.
Indonesia has a had a recent backlash against homosexuality. They don't give two shiny shits about 'trans' specifically, they hate homosexuals in general, because the Islamists (FPI) have teamed up with the army (Prabowo, an actual Nazi) to implement neofascist Islamist policy as a way to con the people and enrich themselves using shitty religious politics.
To wit you can see gay men (and I must repeat the 'transgender' people here are gay men, they are not the autogynephiles you get in the West) being caned in public in Aceh for having gay sex. www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39996224 And recently a visiting male student arrested for propositioning a male taxi driver over Whatsapp. www.tribunnews.com/regional/2018/01/07/mahasiswa-diduga-homo-diamankan-polisi-terungkap-setelah-memesan-transportasi-online You have 'suspected' lesbians being arrested in Aceh for the suspicious activity of hugging. www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/10/01/island-focus-two-alleged-lesbians-arrested-aceh.html You have 15-year-old girls arrested for being lesbians. news.detik.com/berita/2523204/diamankan-polisi-syariat-2-cewek-di-banda-aceh-ini-mengaku-lesbian The lesbians are subject to conversion 'therapy' habadaily.com/polhukam/5946/pasangan-lesbian-tertangkap-yang-bikin-gempar.html
You can see gay men being imprisoned in Jakarta for homosexual acts using the pretext of Indonesia's fascistic anti-pornography laws (again backed by scumbag authoritarian Islamonazis) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/indonesia-gay-club-strippers-staff-imprisoned-atlantis-spa-sauna-raid-jakarta-lgbt-rights-homophobia-a8111701.html You can see gay men being arrested in Surabaya, East Java for having sex (again the anti-porn law) www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/05/01/eight-men-arrested-for-having-a-gay-party/
You can see Air Asia withdrawing every woman from working on flights to Aceh because the scumbag Islamofascists said women flight crew must wear a scarf www.thejakartapost.com/news/2018/02/01/airasia-to-roster-only-male-crew-for-aceh-flights.html
So let's not accept this 'transphobia' rhetoric. The 'transwomen' are homosexuals, they have been widely accepted in Indonesian society for far longer than either homosexuals or transvestites in the UK, but now some scumbag medieval Islamist fascists have decided to come along and fuck everything up. The ladyboys here were working in a salon, likely serving female clients, and were integrated
Aceh is under Sharia law which is a savage inhuman ideology that is not fit for ANYONE, it's not fit for Aceh, it's not for the UK, it's not fit for gays and neither for straights. This has nothing to do with transphobia, but should properly be seen as a reflection of fundamentalist Islamist currents which express themselves in anti-gay, anti-women, etc., ways in Indonesia. The Islamofascists are paid by extremists directly from Saudi Arabia, they hate Jews, they hate gays, they hate women, they hate the West, they hate just about everybody, and they have a pipeline directly into a large proportion of the country's mosques.
That's why in the 70s a primary school in Jakarta looked like this v-images2.antarafoto.com/sekolah-obama-jvt0of-prv.jpg and why today it would look more like this i.ytimg.com/vi/U1SAfFoqQ3c/maxresdefault.jpg
Shitty conservative fascistic religion backed by billions and billions of dollars.
But no, it doesn't have anything to do whatsoever with the rights of a male rapist to go to a women's prison or some poor kid to be put on female hormones or whatever else some idiot trans-activist will come up with.
