Margaux recounted feeling 'traumatised' after being denied entry to Hong Kong, where she and her cousin were questioned for 12 hours and held in a male-designated area.
The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in regions where acceptance is evolving, but discriminatory practices still exist, as exemplified by Margaux's experience.
Despite recent legal advancements allowing trans individuals in Hong Kong to change gender markers on ID cards, further discrimination remains, particularly regarding mandatory surgery requirements.
Tse, a trans activist who contributed to recent legal changes, remarks that, 'The new policy does not mean that all the discrimination and harm caused by the long delay will be wiped out.'
