Some trans folk fear that they are becoming subjected to travel restrictions under the security state. However, other views are that people need to be sure that their appearance matches their photo and details on the passport. My guess is, that to be fair, the government is checking on anybody who appears like they could be a man dressed as a woman - rather targeting only people presenting as women who might be men with an Asian background. If so, then this would be a clear response that would expected in a culture that respects diversity; to be fair, people who appear to be women dressed as men should be checked as well - from whatever cultural/ethnic /religious background.
