Denise

Tomorrow night I'll be flying from Tampa to Chicago.  I REALLY want to fly back as Denise but I'm not sure what TSA will do.  I had a woman at dinner tonight convinced I was a woman for quite some time.

If you all think I may have trouble, I'll not do it or at least tone it down to Androgynous.  I have reason to take the nail polish off before going through security anyway (my wife won't appreciate it at the other end and I'm trying to save what's left of the marriage.)

So - What suggestions do you have for TSA?

As long as your ID matches your boarding pass, you should be fine. They are going to screen you as the gender you present as regardless of what's on your ID. I do recommend you tuck (recommend just tight panties) so that you are less likely to set off the body scan since they will hit the "female" button and the machine doesn't expect anything down there. I've flown a dozen times and have never had an issue. The only time they pat me down was at the back of my neck as my long hair prevent the machine from scanning that area. A female agent just simply ran her gloved hands behind my hair in the back.

Before transitioning I flew twice with my identification listing me as male, dressed no different than the average female, leggings and everything tucked away and breast forms, face fully cleared of hairs. Presented my ID and was sent on my way.

If you look and act the part along with if questioned speak in a female tone nobody is going to question you unless you are selected at random and even so if you act normal the likelihood of any issues are low. I'd think that if one's baggage was scanned and they found gel breast forms you would be more likely to be questioned.

I'd say if you can act natural, no signs of nervousness then go for it.

TSA in Atlanta was nothing short of professional.  I did let the screener know to press the "male" button.  Which, I think, triggered a pat of my back (bra strap i think). I was through in record time.
