I’m only about a week into being full time so I still get a little panicky at times. For instance today going on through airport security. I’m flying up to Boston for a client interview. As I go through the body scan machine I get pulled to the side and on a gigantic screen there’s a drawing or a human and on the crotch region a big yellow blinking blurb. Obviously my double layered underwear obscured the scan and required further checking. So I’m standing in a crowd with my crotch blinking on a screen. The woman working for the tsa was very friendly and kindly gave me a private screening to help the situation. I’m not mad at the tsa. I understand that they have to check things like that. It just sucked. A lot. As much as i love that I’m full time and being myself. Being myself full time makes me face the things that make me dysphoric. And having the biggest one highlighted on a screen then checked for explosives by strangers stung. Any way if you pad and tuck at the airport beware this could happen.
