  1. Not all countries have progressed as far as the U.S. toward being gender respectful…and still not everywhere in the U.S.

  2. Its Egypt. Yes it sucks, A LOT, but if you know anything about the country you are going to visit then you should know their views about women, children, religion, etc..

    Yes she doesn’t look like the typical girly girl but to think that would make those pervert/bigots automatically assume she is a he is daunting. Every excuse to be nasty I guess…

    She is the victim and just wish the parents would have read a bit more about the country since, unfortunately, its known for less than positive interactions with foreign women (and nationals as well).

  3. This is of course horrible as is; but I’m also super concerned if she had actually been transgender or intersex. (It does occur naturally though is rare).

    Would she have been detained? Separated from her parents?

    Pretty scary.

  4. Add this to the list of travel horror stories in Egypt. Which there seems to be no shortage of.

  5. WTF is wrong with Egypt? So what if she is a girl or a boy. She is flying in a plane that does not know and does not care. It makes no difference.

    Avoid Egypt at all cost.

    Stop going to third world countries. It’s not as rosy as the social media makes you believe.

  7. Don’t go to sandy places. Don’t go to China. Don’t go to Russia. Don’t go to south America.

    Follow those rules and you won’t wind up in a headline.

  8. Chris, This bot reposting the article attracted a ton of other bots just reposting from the previous time this was posted. (Before it was removed)
    Basically the only comments that aren’t bots are just kinda racist.

  9. Genuine question. Why do people go visit and give money to countries where people hate who you are and wish you were murdered because of who you are? Is this some sort of twisted masochism?

    When in Rome …

    Don’t go to a foreign Muslim country that is a military dictatorship and think that you can do what you like. Dress demurely and conservatively.
