TSA and borderline SA discussion
I fly more often then I should, and ever since I transitioned, my genitals have been publicly groped after setting off the stupid fucking gender detector on the scanning machine, every single time. It's not a coincidence, it happened 100% of the times I've flown in the past 3 years and I have no doubt it will continue to. Its so fucking degrading to have a TSA wannabe piggie touch your junk (they really gotta make sure it's there) then give you a weird look when they feel it. LIKE IM THE WEIRDO WHEN YOUR THE ONE FEELING UP MY COCK YOU FREAK FUCK LADY. Anywyas, death to the TSA :Dspoiler related to TSA and borderline SA discussion: a reply
Ouch, I've been through the scanning machine multiple times and they just end up using a hand-held metal detectors most of the time. A couple times they did exactly what you described at it was really as degrading as you said. Sorry you have to go through that, the TSA is a joke and basically there to make everyone **feel **safe. They haven't passed a security test yet AFAIK."Death to the TSA" needs to be a more common catchphrase.
So, first, totally fuck TSA and I truly empathize with you about those TSA pigs touching your stuff there. I truly hope they abolish that useless fascist apparatus.
But I just want to say, this ALWAYS happened to me and I was stopped for "random" genitalia inspection everytime for YEARS, although I'm a cishet man so it's different. But I applied for TSA precheck and the DHS Redress program and it totally solved my problem. Now, ever since, I add my TSA precheck number and my Redress number and I just fly through the typical metal detector and avoid the big scanner one as well as the genitals check! Try it, might work for you. TSA precheck costs a bit but Redress is free, I think.
