it finally happened
the tsa person asked me which button to hit
unfortunately i just replied "um" and they were like "so... male?"
tsa
aaaaaaaand got the ol' tsa grope for the first time flying back from SEA
@nyanotech I'm sorry :(
@nyanotech when shit like that happens I try to remind myself that it's at least in part because for the longest time, the default gender in society was male. Also, that... if you misgender a cis man, he's more likely to be violent than if you misgender a cis woman.

@nyanotech how about answering "No!" or "Neither!"...
@nyanotech press and hold both for 5 seconds to unlock Advanced Mode
@cinebox tap both to take a screenshot
@nyanotech my answer to this is "may i please opt out of the body scanner and get a pat down search instead".
what, theyre going to shove me in the girldick/boyboob detector and do it more invasively if i do, so might as well do it on my terms.
although deviant said you can actually say "no i cant do this due to medical reasons", which gets you put through metal detector, lmfao
@leftpaddotpy @nyanotech our favorite part is if they’re overworked they just shove people through the metal detector, and if they’re recalling overworked they skip that too
@nyanotech I haven't gotten that one yet, but I did get them doing an ID check and then going "uhhhh, I'm gonna need a second opinion on this"
Which, fair
@nyanotech you know, we've never had them ask us (which one they hit is totally random though)
