The encounters stem from shortcomings in the agency’s technology and insufficient training of its staff. *** ...To understand the extent of the problem, ProPublica reviewed publicly available complaint data from the TSA’s website and asked transgender travelers to provide accounts of their experiences at airport checkpoints. The review, which covered civil rights complaints filed from January 2016 through April 2019, found that 5%, or 298 complaints, were related to screening of transgender people, even though they are estimated to make up slightly less than 1% of the population. *** Very interesting article and very good example of propaganda throughout. The article is trying to control a story line about transgenders but the holes in the story are glaring. For example, that statistic in bold above. It seems highly likely that the 1% figure is a gross underestimation. This transgender movement must be huge. I am looking around and seeing them more and more IRL. |

That’s their answer. Violence, hysteria. Not capable of discussion unless in safe space with only their kind. I saw a thirty-something year old man go into a rant in person recently, shouting with a red face that he would shoot and kill people who dislike his politics and gay friends. It really scared me. |

Trans people are mentally ill. They need help. When you are afraid of losing your life, you have already lost your life. Don't be afraid. |

I found another glp link to an article from 2016 about this same issue. The first article I linked to said the ProPublica study included data from 2016-2019. So it seems like this flared up in 2016, same year as the election. I keep wondering if this is kind of an “insurance policy” phenomenon we’re watching. What I mean by that is these people seem like an army that wants Trump out. They are far more angry and militant than I ever recall any other group against an elected president, since the days of the Yippies! I wonder if their uprising is some kind of weaponized, organized attack. Are they bot sleepers who are now being triggered into states of hysterical outrage? All they do is deceive and disrupt. Think about it. Nearly every environment now contains these strange people who seem intent on destroying the old culture. |

Here's why it happens: “I told her: ‘If the issue is what you are feeling, let me tell you what this is. It is my penis,’” said Olivia, who agreed to be interviewed only if she were identified by her middle name because she fears people will treat her differently if they know she is transgender. If you walk through a scanner dressed as, and looking like, a woman, and an unexpected "package" appears on the scanner, of course you're going to get searched. If you want people to think you're a woman but you're carrying extra baggage downstairs, don't be surprised when they are surprised.
