45. I'm trans, saw the gumby image from the porner scanner with lots of dots

on my leg and between my legs.

They made me go through again and didn't say anything and the new image just showed a couple of dots between my legs and they let me go through.

After that I figured out they made me go through the scanner again and selected "male" instead of female. That said I don't really give a shit because they were polite and didn't say anything or ask any rude questions or detain me, but I would raise hell if they called me out publicly for it or made me miss my flight.
