Honestly you dont realize how taxing being treated like the wrong gender is until you experience being treated correctly.

Living as a woman is harder but it actually feels like living, and that makes all the difference.

Yeah, its… not fun

Apparently getting TSA precheck might help. I’m looking into it but I’m not clear on everything yet.

SeaTac is the worst. Out of all the airports I’ve been to only Honolulu compares in pettiness and general disdain for humanity.

CW: me being violated

ALSO. Idk why we have a system that requires me to let a stranger touch my dick if I want to travel.

TSA has a male/female button they press for their scanners. They press the female button for me, which means the scanner thinks I’m hiding something in my pants.

They took me aside for a pat down. I told them what the issue was, and asked them politely not to touch my dick. She told me it was procedure and that she had to feel all the way up my crotch.

I begged her not to. She did anyway. She stopped once she touched it, but by then my day was ruined.

I learned that doing a tuck lets me through the scanners. So I always go to the bathroom before checkpoints to make adjustments. But, I’m always nervous about flying now.

This might be a lil civ/grand strategy brained but to me the whole point of civilization is to come together so we can build cool stuff. How much cool stuff a country builds should be a serious metric for success. China is the undisputed cool stuff building champion of the world and not enough people are talking about it. a market economy will never build as much cool stuff as a centrally planned one.

Racist piece of shit
