@LnzyHou It's been reported in a few places in the UK. Sad, isn't it?
There's no excuse for it; travel authorities don't need to know what gender someone is. If they have doubts about whether someone with a passport is the same as the person to whom it was issued, that's what the photo is for.
Transphobes are lying when they say they're creating safe spaces for women; instead, they're creating spaces for tyrants to invade women's privacy.
Important distinction
@DavidSalo @Graci @LnzyHou . Besides, there's always the gestapo crotch inspectors.
Outrageous actually.
@Graci Nasty, sick bastards.
Fucking ridiculous. Sex shouldn't even be listed on identification. It's not relevant.
I have a friend who is non-binary and has had several surgeries, resulting in dense scar tissue. No matter what setting they choose the scanners show anomalies. They have two doctor's letters explaining this, but nearly every time they fly, they end up getting strip searched.
But this case? There's not even something like that. And that they were going to have two men do the strip search? Fuck them.
@Graci 🤬 WTF? Are there now price differences between men and women????
@Graci
Surely this is satire????
