According to reports, two male officials approached the girl at the airport and demanded that she undress, but her friend’s mother demanded that a female nurse be present in the room. “They told Caitlin to lift her sports bra and then they said they needed to ‘look down,'” Tom said. “Lib’s mom told them ‘no way,’ so they just made her take down her pants to prove she didn’t have a male genitalia. Then they let her go. It was a horrible experience for her and it got to her more after she got home. She She managed to suppress it during the trip, but there was a fear that it would happen again on the way back.”

The case was brought to the attention of the Minister of Culture and Sports, British Member of Parliament from the Labor Party Lisa Nandy, who said that she wanted to raise awareness of the incident so that young people visiting Egypt would not have to face “such humiliation”. An official spokesman for the British Foreign Ministry said that the ministry “does not respond to specific cases involving children, but our team supports British citizens overseas around the clock.”

The people crossing the border in Egypt are not addicted to the right to be cautiously tolerant towards the different. About three years ago we posted here at mako how Two transgender men from Haifa were stuck for many hours at the border crossing with Egypt and experienced humiliations from the police officers. “The Egyptians said we didn’t look like females. Every now and then an officer came, talked to someone on the phone, looked at us, laughed and left.”
