Cw: Transphobia, Seattle TSA
I tested the Seattle TSA with this presentation today.
Grade: D-.
Frisked, harassed, I think intentionally misgendered, forced through two scanners.
This is a very different experience from the usual conservative presentation
So, interesting thing to note. The Seattle TSA actively punishes trans folks for presenting as trans (which was my hypothesis).

@mawr WTF
re: Cw: Transphobia, Seattle TSA
@mawr That.. actually didn't surprise me. There have been a lot of articles about the Seattle Fash scene and massive number of Nazis up that way despite how progressive the it is viewed by the rest of the country and the non-fash residents.
And of course fucking Nazis work for the TSA... because oh look authority power over others without all the hassle of being an actual cop. D:
I despise the TSA.. between that and people mover seating I hate flying these days.
