This may be the video essay you're talking about.

But yeah, in collectivist societies like in most of Asia, being trans is less controversial than being gay due to conformity.

One interesting tidbit from the video was how Iran's government even recognizes sex reassignment surgery and may even cover the cost.

Mentioned partway through the video as well as this Economist article.
