Those are some real heavy blinders you've got on.
Edit: More specifically, on this issue, the Iranian state is about forcing all people into rigid biological, sexual, and gender roles. The fact that that accidentally fails to oppress a sliver of people whose personal goals happen to align with the oppressive position of the state doesn't make that "less oppressive."
That one specific group experiences oppression due to being trans in America they don't experience in Iran.
