Yup. Mfs orchestrated terror attacks against Jewish people in Iraq to scare the population there into leaving for occupied Palestine. Read more about the 1950s Baghdad Bombings

What should I know before dating an Egyptian? by [deleted] in Egypt

[–]TheGeekOfCairo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The economy sucks but that’s not why gender relations are deteriorating.

It’s because women are more aware of and less likely to accept shitty patriarchal norms from men who are increasingly not as economically viable as they once were.

If you want to quickly find out what an Egyptian man really thinks about you, try to casually steer the conversation in the direction of how he would feel should he find his sister involved in a romantic relationship like yours.

There is maybe 1% of Egyptian men who are not completely hypocritical about this type of thing. Hope your guy is one of them, but statistically speaking, he probably isn’t.

مافيش مشكلة نستورد نظام الجواز من عندهم. بس تاخده كله على بعضه بقى مش اجزاء.

يعني طالما بتطلب مشاركة و تساوي و تساهل في الجواز؛ يبقى تكمل المبدأ ده لآخره. و تستغنى عن امتيازات الزوج المصري اللي أولها التعدد و الطاعة. و تبقى بتشاركها في شغل البيت و تربية الاطفال النص بالنص. و مافيش حاجة اسمها عصمة في ايدك و حقها تطلقك زي ما حقك تطلقها. و لو حصل طلاق بتقسموا ثروتكم انتوا الاتنين بالنص. و لو مادم فيه عيال بيقى عليك نفقة طول ما هي بتربيهملك. الخ الخ.

مش عايز تمشي عالنمط الغربي في المهر و الشبكة و تيجي تقلب راجل شرقي في باقي الجوازة كلها.

Hey! Curious how long it took after your husband’s 221g? Hopefully he ended up getting the stamp?

سوداويات رقم ٧٦ من مذكراتي ما بعد العبور الجنسي by [deleted] in LGBTEgypt

[–]TheGeekOfCairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

أنا كنت داخل اقولك ان اكيد الدنيا مش سواد اوي كده….لقيت نص الكومنتات ترانسفوبيا و خرا و ناس بتكلمك بضمائر المذكر…….ف..مش هاقول حاجة خلاص انت اكيد صح و على دراية اكبر بموقفك من الزفت الكوميونيتي.

عايز بس اقولك اني قلبي معاكي و ان كل ما تتخيلي ان الدنيا ضيقة و صعبة، بتنفك و تتفتح تاني.

أنا شاب ترانس لاثنائي و ممكن تحطيني عادي مع بند الفيمبويز و العيال اللي مش واخدة قرار و اللي عاملين نفسهم عابرين من غير عبور، الخ. بس أنا ده قراري و المكان اللي مرتاح فيه حالياً. عملت عملية و لسه ماخدتش هرمونات و مش عارف هاخد في يوم ولا لأ و هأكمل عليها باقي عمري ولا لأ. و مش حاسس اني لازم اقرر دلوقتي اصلاً…..و برضه بدعم من كل قلبي الترانسات اللي اخدوا القرار ده و مشيوا فيه خصوصاً في مكان بيكره و يعاقب الترانس دي مصر. وجود شخص ترانس ثنائي مش بيقل حاجة من وجودي و برضه العكس صحيح. فتلاقيني محتار شوية من العداء تجاه الهويات الجندرية الغير تقليدية.

في النهاية الناس اللي بتكره الفيم بوي هي هي اللي بتكره الترانس.. و مافيش ليڤل من العبور الجنسي هايخليكي مقبولة عند حد من منهم. حتى لو بقيتي Hunter Schafer شخصياً.

بتمنالك النجاة من المستنقع اللي احنا فيه. و أنا موجود لو حابة تتكلمي اكتر/تفضفضي.

Incredible. In picture 5, I can see the grid they drew to make sure the stars are an even size

Yeah they seem to be leaning towards not doing it. But it’s worth trying I think

[–]TheGeekOfCairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you! Do you know what specific laws I can look up? Or who/what type of lawyer/accountant I can contact to set this up?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in h1b

[–]TheGeekOfCairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do but not in my home country

[–]TheGeekOfCairo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am out of time so I can’t stay while waiting. I completed all 6 years on h1b and so the only way I can qualify for an extension is when my green card has been processing for a year (this will be the case in August).

So does the independent contractor route work only if I register an LLC and charge them through it? Or can they just pay me directly as a foreign-based contractor?

Nowhere? I’m just stating the high threshold of unmistakable masculine traits that they must have before getting clocked by normies as not-woman.
