Twenty-one-year old Lebanese transsexual Toy sits in an art studio prior to a photo shoot in a popular neighbourhood of Beirut on January 16, 2016. Toy was rejected by his family and expelled from Saudi Arabia a few years ago after spending 40 days in jail for his feminine attitude. Transgender people are heavily stigmitized in Lebanon but on January 16, 2016, Lebanon's Court of Appeals granted a transgender man the right to change his sex in the civil registry on account of his own gender identification, marking a step toward granting transpeople legal recognition for their status. / AFP / Patrick BAZ
