That's one way to go about it... Doubt it will work in the long run though.

That wouldn't work if Pakistan wasn't so ass-backwards..wait, that works?! I'm surprised they're not getting half an AK mag by just being there.

Sounds risky. What if some of the debtors react violently?

"We're trying to educate society and show them how we like ourselves, but if your parents don't understand you or give you respect, how can you expect other people to?"
Somehow participating in this seems like the wrong way to go about "educating society"...

[up] Sounds like it might intensify hatred. And it sounds potentially regressive. But it somehow reminds me of Gay Shame, who I love. wink

Why doesn't the Pakistani government go the racketeering route, and break people's legs who don't pay taxes?

For all we know, that's what the law says but when you're collecting only 1% of your income taxes you'd have a nation that couldn't walk.

This is true, and that would tank revenues even further.

I guess their idea does work, all things considered. Don't really think it'll improve the people of Pakistan's view of transgenders, though.
