MPs Osama Al-Shaheen and Abdulaziz Al-Saqaabi proposed an amendment to the penal code article that penalizes ‘imitating the opposite sex’ in Kuwait. They proposed defining a person who imitates the opposite sex as "any male who wears women’s clothing or make up that make him appear as a female, or any female who wears men’s clothing that makes her appear as a male according to customs,” in addition to any person "who undergoes cosmetic surgeries or takes medications with the intention to alter their appearance contrary to their nature.” The lawmakers proposed a maximum three-year jail term and/or KD 7,000 fine for violators.
