I've been writing and speaking about #TravelingWhileTrans for about 10 years. The intro to my book, Design Justice: community-led practices to build the worlds we need, talks about airport security systems and the matrix of domination. Open access: designjustice.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/ap8rgw5e...

I have obtained TSA pre-check with my correct gender marker on my passport!
The Clear employee who helped me was very nice, I got some queer / trans / non-binary vibes from them.
I got my passport before the anti-trans U.S. executive order. I knew the guidance from TSA is that my passport is valid until it expires, but I wasn't sure whether they would allow me to get TSA pre-check with it.
I hope this helps other trans folks. Please boost!

CW: Dysphoria, bathrooms
Hey everyone!
So, I’m jetting off to Mexico for some dental work. You know, the kind that costs an arm and a leg back home in the U.S. After checking and rechecking my list a zillion times, I finally headed out, thanks to a lift from a great friend. The roads were clear, and even at the airport in the evening, I breezed through security like it was nothing. With time to kill, I popped into the lounge (thanks, Priority Pass!) It wasn't mind-blowing, but hey, it was chill and had loads of cozy seats.
Settling in, I decided to hit the ladies' room before my flight. Just as I was about to enter, I heard a little girl shout, “You’re going the wrong way!” That moment made my heart sink. Because I was traveling and soon to see family who don't yet know the real me, I was dressed in full “boy mode.” Playing it off like I was just mixed up, I followed her point to the men's room. Not a fan of urinals, I stuck to the stall, as usual. Looks like I’ll be in boy mode for the whole trip, plus a bit after I get back, until I find the courage to open up to my mom. And here I am, not even a day in, already feeling boxed in by having to act all “boyish.”

I’m assuming “do not go” isn’t an option. So, for their benefit:
1) Take a friend. Traveling alone isn’t safe.
2) Avoid anything that might rouse suspicion from law enforcement.
3) Steer clear of anywhere that isn’t touristy.FWIW. I wouldn’t be going anywhere That isn’t blue on this map. https://open.substack.com/pub/erininthemorn/p/updated-anti-trans-legislative-risk?utm_source=direct&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

#travelingwhiletrans
Me: *Walks into the airport scanner, knowing this is doomed*
TSA Worker: *Looks at scan screen in consternation, looks at me in further consternation, looks back at screen*
TSA Worker (hopeful expression): Do you…have anything in your pockets?
Me: *Smiles sadly and shakes head*
TSA Worker (resignedly): Lift up your arms.
Me: *Brave, tired smile while complying*
TSA Worker: *sighs, begins the inevitable pat down with obvious distaste*I cannot wait for that TSA upgrade…

I should get a dollar for every self-proclaimed “truck and god loving proud red neck” that steals a look at my boobs

Fortunately, it's a short enough trip that I don't need dilators, so I won't get flagged for having 'plastic explosive' #travelingwhiletrans

I'm flying on Monday. I am not looking forward to the experience. #travelingwhiletrans
