00:00 Gigi Gorgeous is a beloved member of the YouTube community. Along with her beauty
00:03 videos and vlogs, she also speaks about her experience as a transgender woman.
00:07 Yesterday she teased on her Instagram that she was going on a vacation to,
00:11 according to her, somewhere dope. But less than a day later she posted about a
00:15 horrible experience that she had at the Dubai Airport. Gigi says that an
00:19 immigration officer stopped her from entering the country because she's
00:22 transgender. Dubai actually has laws against the imitation of women by men,
00:26 and violators can face a year of jail time. So strange. And Dubai, the funny
00:32 thing is, they're so modern with their buildings and their technology and
00:36 experiences, but yet they're not modern in terms of how they treat people.
00:40 Airport police claimed that her passport described her as a male, though she told
00:44 TMZ that it lists Gigi as her legal name. She was detained for five hours before
00:49 the issue was resolved. Gigi writes, "How you can be denied entry somewhere just
00:53 because of who you are is seriously disgusting and also very scary."
00:57 Hopefully Gigi raises enough awareness about this issue so other trans people
01:01 traveling can be safe. For more trends and stories like this, go to whatstrending.com.
