aesmael: (Electric Waves)
    In Australia there is a television program called 'Border Patrol' which is a reality show featuring footage of customs officials doing their job. I already hate it because I see it as stirring up unnecessary outrage, anger and mockery of foreign people (the usual ad runs along the lines of "You will never believe what this person tried to get away with - look how stupid they are".

    The one I just saw, looks like this week's main attraction is hassling a transwoman whose documentation does not match her presentation.

    Bad enough this country does not let trans* people have proper passports, nor documentation matching presentation without surgery the best surgeons for which are overseas.

Precisely the reasons I object to its existence, yes.
