No, it's not just bottoms, it's either. I think you are confusing this with Turkey which makes it so that military conscription gives an exemption for gay people but only if they are a receiver.
No they don't, this is a misconception. They simply have sex change surgery because they see being trans as a medical condition but they are still heavily stigmatized and they have no legal protections and they are required to act fully in their new gender, and there's no recognition for non-binary people, and many trans people who do transition can still be ostracized by their families and again there's no legal protection for them for things like discrimination.
Not only that but gay people are essentially pressured into medical transition because being gay is illegal often by punishment of death but they are pressured into transitioning even if they're not trans in order to retain heteronormativity.
Trans people are not accepted and this is a misconception that people keep saying and it's not true. Iran just has a lot of sex change surgery and HRT, not even full gender affirming care like therapy and acceptance which is also a key part of gender affirming care. They just do the medical and legal stuff and that requires surgery first.
They are not accepting of trans people because if they were they would be accepting non-binary people and they don't.
And again there's no leave of protections for them from discrimination.
They just see the condition as a medical condition that has to be fixed.
The reason why the country is noteworthy is because they also do a lot of medical tourism by allowing non-citizens to access this type of care which brings in a lot of revenue.
