You people get bent out of shape over the goofiest thing.  And no, people in the Dubai airport aren't gonna do a Fing thing about a US passport marked "X" as gender. 

Probly not.  But, if you happen to get arrested for hash and that's what your ID says, well, it just went from worse to worser.

Are you going to beg me to take your side via PM, or send me spoilers of a movie I have not seen yet.

Then post it, I have you blocked from sending me PM's since you acted like a dbag and sent me Soprano's movie spoilers because I would not agree with you about Polio.

You could say the same thing about women in some arab countries. It's not our government's role to police a citizen's decision to go to another country with x/y/z genitals/gender. Let them make their own decisions and deal with the consequences.

Quick search finds this example from one week back.  This Thai lady was once a man and Thailand doesn't allow for a gender change in their passport so her passport gender said "male". So, she was detained in Dubai for nine hours, interrogated, etc. and then barred from entry.

Guess she should have done some homework before trying to travel to Dubai.

:lol: Dubai is a big layover spot for Thailand from the East US/Europe.  Having spent a month there that can't possibly be the first trans person that has come through there. Place is full of em.

If you get arrested in another country's airport for having drugs on you, you deserve to be spayed or neutered anyway.

He really did that? What an old, childish C he is lmao.

He did.  Good thing I realized it before I read very far.  Saw the movie that night, then circled back, would have spoiled the entire movie if I had read it all.

A Florida Man PMs a Guy Spoilers to a Movie Because He Was Butthurt.

 

Definitely sounds like a headline lmao

Ok, you won't get a PM from me either.  Feel free to block Newman too.

It was  crap movie.  You don't hear anyone talking about it anymore.

When the fabric of society starts to fray, it affects us all.  Go read up on history.  I am not going to do your homework for you - what is happening in the U.S. in this regard is nothing new under the sun. 

This is a good point. Today gays marry each other, tomorrow people start marrying their pets. Where does it stop? The line between man, woman, and horse animal is getting awfully blurry and we gotta do something now before the fabric of our society is torn to shreds!

Did you read the article?  It wasn't saying trans people can't get into Dubai.

I'm not saying it did. Just laughing at the security staff for being baffled at the concept of a trans woman from Thailand. That's kinda what they're known for.

You act like this is your choice.  I saw you on my profile, you must have been big mad that you could not PM me.

The "F your feelings" crew tends to get pretty emotional at times.

Nobody cares about your anger issues, Floridaman

Wouldn't X be for people who identify non-binary or something and not a trans person who would just pick the gender they now identify with?

I. Have. No. Idea.

 

I admit I don't understand half of these issues and I also don't spend much time trying to.

It should be a trick box to check if you support the President trying to overthrow an election he lost.

 

If you check it, you can't come back to the USA. Probaby love you in Russia, though, and the rouble is doing really well I hear.
