Man, you ever feel like people hate you? Try being a trans TSA agent. Woof.
They chose to be a TSA agent, they don't deserve any sympathy.
Peak America moment. No matter who you are, you should have the right to get paid to violate the civil liberties of your neighbors.
trans cops are still cops.
My eye is twitching dealing with this dissonance.
she deserves her rights, sure, but I'm not going to cry over a class traitor getting treated poorly. turning against your own kind removes any sympathy
Is it cognitive dissonance to acknowledge that trans people are capable of being shitty humans?
More joking than anything else. But yeah, there are shitty people in every subculture. Like the old AA adage about how a shitty person is still a shitty person even if they're sober.
This should not be hard for you.
So I'm trans and would regularly get searched by TSA. Flying out of Seattle though TSA would often clock me and split the line to go through the metal detector instead of the scanner which was way less likely to trigger a pat down. I suspect having trans people as TSA agents will help other trans people while traveling. That said it's not like they're going to take it down from the inside or something and I still think this person is a bit of an idiot. I want TSA to disappear but if it is to exist then I hope it's forced to allow trans people
I’m sorry, I’m imagining her wearing a pin to make people feel comfortable that says T4TSA and I can’t stop laughing
Edit: comfortable!!
Oh, this isn't The Onion?
