Transgender Woman Live Tweets Horrific TSA Experience


Shadi Petosky, a transgender television writer and producer, has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.


In a series of Tweets on Monday afternoon, Petosky shared the traumatic endeavor she suffered through when simply trying to get to her gate for a flight.


The experience took place at an Orlando-area airport and we"ll let Petosky take it from here…




1. Wait… what is this?!?


Wait what is this

It’s not a weapon, we can assure you, officers.



2. Be a man!


Be a man

Because the machine cares what gender it checks? Or because the agent chose this moment to take some kind of moral stand?



3. Spreading the word


Spreading the word

Petosky says she Tweeted this experience so this hopefully would never happen to another transgender individual.



4. Who cares?!?


Who cares

Sorry, we’re getting upset here. Is she a danger to her fellow passengers? No? Then LET HER THROUGH!



5. Is this the angriest face you have?


Is this the angriest face you have

Because it doesn’t do a sufficient job of expressing the proper outrage here.



6. We ask again:


We ask again

Is the phone a danger to other passengers? No? Just a danger to your reputation? Ah, okay then.
