This article describes and explains the current official status of lesbianism in Iran. Our central question is why the installation of an Islamic government in Iran resulted in extreme regulations of sexuality. The authors argue that rather than a clear adoption of "Islamic teaching on lesbianism," the current regime of sexuality was "invented" through a series of interpretative moves, adoption of hidden assumptions, and creation of sexual categories. This article is organized into two sections. The first sets the scene of official sexuality in Iran through a summary of (1) the sections of the Iranian Penal code dealing with same-sex acts and (2) government support for sexual reassignment surgeries. The second section traces the "invention" of a dominant post-revolutionary Iranian view of Islam and sexuality through identifying a number of specific interpretive moves this view builds on.
本文描述并解释了伊朗女同性恋在当前的官方状况。我们的核心问题是，为何伊朗伊斯兰政府的建立导致了对性行为的极端管控。作者认为，当前的性取向管理制度并非明确采纳了“伊斯兰教关于女同性恋的教义”，而是通过一系列解释性举措、采用隐含假设以及创造性类别“发明”出来的。本文分为两个部分。第一部分通过总结（1）伊朗刑法典中涉及同性行为的条款以及（2）政府对变性手术的支持，来呈现伊朗官方性取向的背景。第二部分通过识别构成这种主导性的后革命时期伊朗伊斯兰教与性取向观点的一些具体解释性举措，追溯这种观点的“发明”过程。
