Question for Canadian Members or Those Who May Know

[sometimes_miss]

Does that mean CTSA demands that women who wear jeans, boots, and have short hair are not permitted to fly? Or is it OK as long as they are carrying a purse?

We all know that this doesn't apply to women. The double standard about gender is still in full force.

The other interesting fact about this whole thing is ref "5.2 (1) (c) the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents". Funny, both my drivers licence and passport indicate SEX not GENDER. So, technically, by the letter of the policy, it can't be done.
Yep, who ever wrote this needs to be educated, there is a difference.

yeah, in a court of law I suppose that's correct, but that won't stop you from going through all the aggravation of being pulled aside to argue your case, and potentially get pulled off the flight while they debate your point.

The easiest thing to do is suck it up and dress how you are expected to dress. You can change when you get off the plane.

^this. After all, we've spent so much of our lives living as standard issue males, what's a few more hours? If you want, wear a nice comfy pair of panties under sweatpants and a t shirt, have a few drinks, listen to some music once they allow mp3 players to be used, bring a board a copy of Cosmo and Glamour, a nice book from recommended reads listed on Seventeen magazines' website, and enjoy a (hopefully) uneventful flight. You'll hardly remember that you're a guy at all.
