My eyebrow lady is afraid to travel to see her brother in Texas, because she's Muslim and a Hijabi

I feel so much safer, every time she travels my eyebrows pose such a hazard to society.

1. This should not be happening in America and this really pisses me off.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. she has a greencard and still fears traveling within the country

and i don't blame her at all

[TrekLuver]

3. My co worker has a green card she is from Dom. Repub. and she is scared to travel!!

4. Taking unlawful actions that make certain groups live in fear.

I think there is a word for that.

5. Went over to see some of my old UU friends.

The ladies were all sitting around trying on their new head scarfs and plotting where to go first wearing them. They really look nice in them and they are not the kind of women you would want to cross about wearing them.

6. #1. She should be afraid. #2. Practical suggestion is she wear a wig to cover her hair.

Like ultra-orthodox Jewish women do.

The ONLY reason I suggest #2 is out of concern for a Muslim woman needing to travel and afraid for her safety.

No one should be harassed for what they wear on their head.

7. she lives in nyc, so long as she stays around here

i think she will be fine-ish


the hijab is more about modesty than just covering hair, so the wig would not work for her.

8. Under normal conditions, she should be OK

I'm in San Antonio and hijabs are no big deal here.

However, I would be afraid to travel within the US due to Trump's travel ban. I would not put it past him to start deporting legal residents.

Edited post: Thought I read Houston in OP. Bad eyes of mine. And it just occurred: Gov. Abbott is cracking down on sanctuary cities, anyone who looks different may have to show papers

13. I thank all relevant deities that I live in NY. I would get in trouble if I lived in a red state

or area.

14. ugh. states have so control. the faster liberals mobilize during the midterms

and off presidential year elections, and retake back some of those governorship's and state legislatures, the better.

liberals used to complain about Cuomo all the time, look how well he has risen to the occasion now.

9. If her brother lives near Houston she'll be fine

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. he does. she fears the travel through airports

not houston per se

[elehhhhna]

15. That's horrible

[otohara]

10. Does She Do The Threading Method?

that's an effing art and should be treasured.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. yup, lots of salons run by south asians in NYC do threading

[treestar]

16. Within the US I would think she would be OK

No reason for Customs and Border Patrol to be around domestic flights.

17. right. i think the issue is who wants to risk it?

i assume she'll be fine, but who knows what the next insane exec order is
