Authorities deny Arab transsexuals access to Egypt

[alyssaluxor]

Cairo airport authorities denied two Arab post-operative transgender passengers access to Egypt on Sunday.

Eyewitnesses said a state of confusion prevailed at the airport when customs officials discovered a male passenger and a female passenger both carrying passports stating their previous genders.

Officials noticed a 22-year-old passenger of "outstanding beauty" embarking from a plane coming from the Jordanian capital Amman, holding a passport under the name Ahmed. The passenger said she had undergone a gender reassignment operation and become a female six weeks ago, but hadn’t yet been able to modify her passport data.

Arriving on the same plane, a 19-year-old male passenger held a passport with the female name Israa. He said he had undergone surgery to became male, but also wasn’t able to update his passport.

The passengers were then examined, and their accounts proved to be correct. However, customs authorities banned them from entering Egypt and put them on the same plane back to Jordan.

Well....I'd like to think one of the reasons they denied entrance was the current chaotic political situation, and the fear of people attempting to enter with dubious intent...but then again this is the middle east, and although more secular than other countries, they are muslim...even under the best of circumstances they'd more than likely be turned away. They should obtain visas for here !
