This is correct for, she has grs comics and other various trans content. But I felt this one personally as I had this exact situation play out with a very different outcome. Tldr: I was fem dressing b u t male presenting wich lead to confusion at the time. Tsa scanned, decided to search, got incredibly embarrassed by their .mistake and I went about my trip.

If you don’t mind the question: did they have a female agent search you? Did you try and explain or give a heads up?

Yeah. So thats the funny part! A male was going to search, then went over to his female coworker and had her do the search. She comes up and like looks at me, walks back to the male coworker and I guess said she was uncomfortable with doing the search so he asked me "does it matter who does the search?" And at this point its been like 20 mins and I just went "Dude I dont care, your not gunna find anything thats not supposed to be there, I just wanna go on VACATION!"

There was an article I read that went pretty similarly. They took her to a separate room, but none of the female agents wanted to search a trans woman, so instead she had to strip down in front of 3 male agents, bend and spread.

Female TSA agents should not be allowed to flat out reject a search, unless it's obviously inappropriate. Imagine you're a cis tomboy and you get groped by a man. It's pure fucking nightmare fuel.

Why would a female search a male? They have a penis. They should search their own sex.

Idk, maybe boobs

Trans people can get flagged for having both parts. So can cis women if their genitals get flagged too - which does happen.

We do not tolerate transphobia here. Hard stop.

Purposeful misgendering is clearly a part of rule 3(I'm not mad at anyone just making a statement)
