Not specifically related to this, but when I flew to Denver last month, I was pulled aside for a pat down (flying male) because my back was sweating profusely. It was funny because I'd just been chatting with the TSA screener, and she offered the intel that the millimeter wave scanners are so sensitive that they'll flag shirts that have been recently ironed with too much steam.
Meghan,
That's the assumption I feel most people would make , that we are TSs for one reason that CDers are usually in the closet , for a person who obviously has started out life as a male but has transitioned to a point where they can comfortably go through the whole travel scenario and deal with the stress of it most people aren't going to question their motives . Again Stephanie mentions the not passing situation but it's irrelevant in public situations like this . If you have the confidence to do it the message is picked up by other people that you are a TS or trans and they will respect you for your bravery and honesty .
SaraLin,
Yes it is wonderful to be in public places , to sit in a bar or o to the cinema and people have seen enough signals to say you are female . I chatted away to the two ladies in the cinema before the performance began I and sincerly think they felt they were chatting to a lady, I spoke in my normal voice but quieter because of the surroundings .
