You're missing the point. But do feel free to explain why you think gender is relevant to whether TSA should let you travel.
Look, the variations on human anatomy are such that across the population of the US (especially the US given the obesity rates) gender determination is irrelevant to the screening by the machines: they're (supposed to be) looking for concealed weapons, not trying to figure out if that's a boy or a girl. Beyond that, with MMW, gender.is.irrelevant.to.security.screening.
