Dual Passports for Norwegian Perverts?

Posted by Dave Blount at August 31, 2006 6:40 AM

Norway's Equality and Anti-discrimination Ombud (LDO) is considering a request from a man who thinks he should be given two passports, because he is a "trans-person."

The supplicant wants both a man and a woman passport. Traveling in drag when your passport has you dressed like a normal person can cause difficulties, particularly with the increased security checks necessitated by the escalation of Muslim terrorism. The petitioner pleads:

For me this has made it virtually impossible to travel as a woman. I therefore make a plea that these rules be liberalized such that trans-persons have the opportunity to have two passports.

According to LDO adviser Stian Sigurdsen, the agency is currently trying to figure out "if it is discriminatory that these persons do not get two passports."

On a tip from Bill V.
