Iran is one of the few countries where homosexual acts are punishable by death. Clerics, however, accept the idea that a person might be trapped in a body of the wrong sex. Gays can be forced to undergo a sex change surgery - and to avoid this, many fleeing the country.
Created in Iran, Donya kept his shaved or short hair and wore hats instead of scarves. Came to visit a doctor to try to stop his bleeding.
"I was very young and did not really understand me," he says. "I thought if I could stop my period, I would be more masculine."
If police asked his identity and to notice that she was a woman, he says, would censor him: "Why are you so go change your sex?
