Girly Man Sentenced to 1500 Lashes

You can't make this stuff up. Then again, we're talking about Saudi Arabia, so expect the unexpected.
JEDDAH – The Cassation Court on Tuesday declined to endorse a general court ruling to sentence a girly man to 10 years’ imprisonment and 1,500 lashes.

The Cassation Court said that the ruling was exaggerated, asking for a lesser punishment.

The case was referred back to the general court.

The feminine looking 20-year-old man from Yemen was found guilty of trying to be a woman wearing women’s lingerie, make-up, and women’s clothes. It was not clear if the man was suffering from a gender identity disorder or how much girliness he could get away with.
