On Sept. 15, 2017, Olivia stepped into a full-body scanner at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
When she stepped out, a female Transportation Security Administration officer approached. On the scanner’s screen was an outline of a human body with the groin highlighted. The officer told Olivia that because of something the scanner had detected, a pat-down would be necessary.
As a transgender woman, Olivia, 36, had faced additional TSA scrutiny before.(Snip) TSA rules require that passengers be searched by officers of the same gender as they present. But, according to Olivia, the TSA supervisor told her that she would

The TSA agent must have thought this so-called woman had a pipe bomb stuffed down her pants.

Why do I get the impression that most of the Trannys like a full cavity search?

The charade has to end. You are what you are, maybe not always what you want to be, but YOU have to deal with it, not us.

He had a pat-down because 'Olivia' is crazy as a bedbug, as are all trannys. If they weren't cray-cray, they wouldn't be delusional enough to think they are the opposite sex of what they actually are.

So, “Olivia” is a guy with all of his equipment who is married to a woman. Does that make his wife a lesbian or a heterosexual? Does “Olivia” use his equipment when having sex with his wife? Maybe she just likes having sex with guys who like to play dress up. I’m so confused.
Either way, they are both a couple of psychos and should be put on no-fly lists.

The SCOTUS needs to succinctly answer three questions. (1) Is the official categorization sex or gender? (2) How many sexes are there? (3) Who exactly is a Natural Born Citizen of the United States?

This is one reason that one sometimes stands in long, slow TSA lines. The feelings of a transgender are not as important as the safety of a planeload of passengers. The TSA may be failing to meet your expectations but you are disappointing several hundred people. If you identify as a female and have parts hanging between your legs, prepare to be examined. Life can be a biatch, especially if you are pretending to be one. If you identify as female and do not want to be questioned, get the offending parts cut off. Make the commitment! It's a male trait if you don't!

If "she" still has her male genitals, "she" needs to be screened as a man. Maybe trans people should carry cards with them they can hand to the TSA screener than indicates which button to push.

Lunacy. Pure lunacy. This guy pretends to be a woman, is married to a woman and goes into hysterics when the TSA patdown finds his guy junk. Sheds copious amounts of tears. Feels humiliated. And on and on. Sheesh. Take a Prozac and stop your whining.

What can I say...? This politically correct and permissive society is all messed up! And this guy stealing female identity is the cancer of our society that needs to be removed.

More "all about me" influence in our culture.
In all too many cases, "gender identity" trumps biological sex as in allowing (even mandating) that biological males be allowed to use the locker rooms/bathrooms designated for females/girls if tat suits their gender identity. The rights and privacy/comfort of biological females carries no weight in these instances.
If sex is determined by gender identity and not biologically, those who identify as the opposite biological sex should expect the type of instances described in this article.
Transgendered people seem to want it both ways; sorry, you need to be consistent.
Which way do you want it?

If someone wants to talk about a "War on Women" I'd think a good place to start would be men dressing up as women, pretending to be women, taking jobs and championships and medals and scholarships and opportunities from women, harassing and attacking women in women's bath and locker rooms. Maybe that might be something to look at instead of the phony baloney wage gap and MeToo nonsense.
Until we get some honesty out of these Coo coo birds and their enablers, I'm sticking with what the kid in Kindergarten Cop said about what boys and girls have.

The individuals are creating their own difficulties. It is not necessary for everyone else to be complicit, or accomodate them, in their mental illness.

Yeah, their parts have been rearranged, and the scanners detect they are not in the right place. Simple.

She was traumatized? Is she traumatized every morning when she looks down and a penis is there?

I predict a shiny new rule will soon come out prohibiting TSA agents from searching anyone who claims to be transgender, just like muzzies get a free pass because they're s-p-e-c-I-a-l. Kids and grannies still have to comply tho.

So the biological woman that plans to marry the transgender (not sure if he is to be called transgender man or transgender woman) is a SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST?????? Wonder what kind of a school would employ someone with these sort of "inclinations"......

#31, here's the easy memory trick:
Trans = Fake.
Therefore Transman = fake man .... (born female)
Therefore Transwoman = fake woman ...(born male.)
Trans (as a noun, not as an adjective), means fake (as a noun.)
"Spray on cheezy flavor is trans," is another way of saying "Spray on cheezy flavor is fake."
"Trans fat" is an unsaturated fat with a particular kind of unhealthy orientation. But don't ask me to explain that.

In Russia, transgender people are considered to suffer from serious mental illness and are forbidden, for example, from having a drivers license. In the USA, a man posing as a woman is upset that a woman refuses to grope "her" penis, which in turn highlights a great injustice in snivel rights.
