I'm hoping!
I've got to do the flying-while-trans TSA thing later this week. What's the best way to do this?

When you opt out you can subtly gender yourself, which (for me) results in being screened by that gender. 1/2

e.g. If no TSA women are there I'll say "I'm going to opt out, if you want to call over a woman for my patdown" as I put my luggage in x-ray

Put your dignity in park, smile politely and get it over quickly. Keep your phone handy and voice/video recording on.

TSA Pre. But you probably don't have time to set that up. So make sure you're well rested and on time so you can take a break and convince yourself that you're a good and worthy person regardless of the opinions of random airline passengers or TSA agents, and then go be polite...

I'd suggest you start by being trans then booking a flight. Should be pretty easy.

Oh shit. Wrong account. Rip.

1/ The TSA is largely trained for this now but it varies per airport. Go through the machine they will likely want to pat you down cooperate
-
2/ I usually say I'm trans if they notice an issue around my crotch area, they usually give an understanding nod, do their job and move on.

My minimization strategy: opt out. The scan on trans/intersex zeroes TSA in on groin & breasts areas, opting out's patdown is less violating
