Seriously...A trans woman I know has just returned from a conference.
She was boarding her flight in Florida--in Tampa, I believe--when, after walking through the scanner, TSA agents pulled her aside.
Why? She was wearing a wide flared skirt. One of the agents said they had to check for "weapons."
What kinds of weapons?, I wonder.
By the way, this woman is post-op, so I don't know what kind of "weapon" that agent had in mind.
Really, I don't. My friend doesn't know, either.
