This week we talk with Ameera Khan, a Bengali-American transgender Muslim whose Islam is informed by personal experience, theological training in the completion of her Hifz, or memorization of the Quran, and progressive Muslim perspectives on commonly cited Islamic excuses for homophobia and transphobia (such as the story of the people of Lot).
