ezs note:  Transgender persons and allies, particularly those in Pakistan, you can choose to panic - but the better choice is to plan ahead.  The best choice might be is to let people know that you are their friends, neighbors, and coworkers - not a bunch of aliens.  Hook up with your LGBT group to find out what your best course of action might be.

ezs note:  This is an absolute, utter disgrace.  The police and hospital staff in this case should be FIRED, immediately, and authorities should look into the case to see if any additional punishment is warranted.  Especially if you are traveling to Pakistan, see if the local ambassador is following through.  Thanks.
