    Wow, the comment section is wild here, all y’all claiming to support Trans people, while excusing this. Targeted for being Trans is never okay, and that’s what’s going on here. Regardless of it being TSA or serving you a coffee.

    I am always in favor of suing Kristi Noem. She murdered her dog and boasted about it for christs sake…

      So I’m trans and would regularly get searched by TSA. Flying out of Seattle though TSA would often clock me and split the line to go through the metal detector instead of the scanner which was way less likely to trigger a pat down. I suspect having trans people as TSA agents will help other trans people while traveling. That said it’s not like they’re going to take it down from the inside or something and I still think this person is a bit of an idiot. I want TSA to disappear but if it is to exist then I hope it’s forced to allow trans people

        I’m sorry, I’m imagining her wearing a pin to make people feel comfortable that says T4TSA and I can’t stop laughing

        Edit: comfortable!!

    Peak America moment. No matter who you are, you should have the right to get paid to violate the civil liberties of your neighbors.
