Well, this was fun to read.

I'm actually in the same position as her anatomically. I transitioned when I was a teenager and I'm now in my late twenties. Being trans doesn't really affect my life in any way until I have the joy of airport security.

I was extremely fortunate to encounter WMTDs every time I flew, until last week at MCI when I was in my first body scanner line. I considered opting out but I figured I'd see if I'd get an anomaly first as I was on my own so it was no big deal if it happened. As soon as I walked through the two male TSA agents ran away (yeah, really) leaving the lone female agent to awkwardly ask me about my gender and explaining that I had an anomaly in the private area. She then proceeded to pat down the other parts of my body that had flagged but went nowhere near my private parts. And then I was on my way, almost feeling guilty for not opting out and putting her through the awkwardness.

But reading this, it seems transgender training hasn't reached all of the TSA, or more likely, they're plain ignoring it, because they can. I look forward to the day this inevitably happens to me. Hopefully I'll be travelling alone or with people who are already privvy to my medical history.
