as a trans woman this ended in a considerably more awkward way.
i told them before going through the scanner "I'm trans" that just seemed to confuse them.
And of course the highlighted area was my crotch.
A female TSA agent came over around I asked if I had anything down there and I said I'm trans I'm and she asked " would you prefer to be inspected by a man" which confused me right back and I said no.
they asked me if they could check me there in line in public or if I wanted a private room, I didn't want all of the additional awkwardness and possibility of losing a flight so I just decided to get It over with, they grabbed me and felt around, awkward as HELL, And then I was free to go.... I mean wouldn't it be a lot faster just to build a trans button into the machine instead of grabbing every trans woman by the junk?
I had to disclose to a new employer recently and he proceeded to ask if he's referring to me correctly, as he didn't want to "she/her" me if I didn't want that. Kind that he wanted to double check, cool that I pass well enough people think I'm going the opposite way, and a little annoying that trans men may not have crossed his mind.
like when I went for a urine test and the nurse handed me a plastic insert to put into the toilet and told me "wipe front to back" which to me means two things
1. she thinks I'm as dumb as mud
2. and I passed 🎉
thank you and I'm so sorry! 🫂
First of all a pharmacist should be educated better especially and secondly I would think hopefully a pharmacist would be smart enough to be able to freaking extrapolate 😂
