Person- Short description (English)
Trans-man applied to the state passport office for the re-issue of the passport. His passport had outdated data, including in the column "gender." The trans guy has a short haircut, wears sportswear. The victim appealed to the passport office, collected the necessary documents for the re-issue of the passport. The head of the passport department saw the trans man, the name and the specified "gender" and did not believe him and began to shout loudly that an "abnormal person" had come to her and that he was trying to deceive her because he "pretends to be a woman". The victim asked the headmistress not to shout loudly and asked for understanding. The head of the passport office took a trans guy to a separate room and asked him to show his genitals and chest. He did not agree and asked not to humiliate his dignity. But the woman refused to believe the trans person and insisted on showing his genitals and breasts, threatening him with refusal to restore his passport. The victim had no choice but to showe his chest to the head of the passport office.
