Our Founder, named Stephen Schwartz at birth and then known as Sulejman, came out as a transgender woman in 2017 and is now known as Ashk Lejla or Lulu. Details here: https://ballotpedia.org/Stephen_Schwartz_(California). Ashk Lejla also directs the Second Bektashi Mission to the West. Bektashis follow Jafari fiqh. We support the opinion of Imam Khomeini regarding transgender people. Alhamdulillah!
