Transgendered and the body scan camera

This story sounds a bit shadi. Give a new meaning to packing.

[FONT=pt_serifregular]A transgender woman says she was delayed at a TSA checkpoint at the Orlando International Airport in Florida because a body scanner picked up that her anatomy didn’t match her gender identity.

Is that a pickle in your pocket

If you still have your "pickle", doesn't that make you a transvestite and not transgender? Just looking for clarification.

No, I think it's like sin, the thought is the deed. If you expect to retain your pickle, it's TS. If, however, you intend to remove the pickle, even if that process takes you years, it's TG. Or maybe its more about what words you use? If you intent to follow a pickle retention path but still feel like a woman...... hell, I dunno......

I read this yesterday and think the outrage is unwarranted. If you present as one sex but are physically the opposite sex then there will be anomalies identified where they aren't expected resulting in the need for that person to be pulled and further investigated. Airlines have policies in place that allow someone such as this person WHO ALREADY KNOWS BEFOREHAND that they have anomalies that will need to be explained to ask for a private screening.

Why the hell is this so hard to comprehend?

Why the hell is this so hard to comprehend?

Being offended is all the rage these days. He/she will soon be invited to visit the white house or given an award by a popular sports television channel.
