Trans folks who have flown recently or soon:

I'm creating a list of experiences of trans travelers with airport security, because there is a lot of scary stuff out there, and it's hard for people to know what the "ground truth" is. Please add your experiences when you go through security!

PLEASE boost & share!

The form is here to provide anonymous airport security experiences: https://forms.gle/Ui2jq8u8qEGEfCMw6

You can see the responses as I approve them (can take days) here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12IHWmQgBww2rW7Smi-wQxYTpE0FacE2A7KRvJzL1x4M/edit?usp=sharing

Trans+ Airport Security Experience Form

Please provide your experience as a trans person traveling through airport security. If you went through airport security at multiple locations along your journey, please submit additional forms for each security checkpoint you went through (for instance, if you flew from Dallas, connected in Toronto but had to also go through security there, and continued onto a third destination, you would complete one of these for Dallas and one for Toronto).

@joelle hm, dont really understand the options for the security line type, nor remember the exact dates :(
so, since it can't submit the form:

it and partner had some really really bad experiences at BER airport specifically, ranging from {trans,nb}phobia ("your existence offends me") to outright sexual assault!
have contacted airport management about them in the past which has had at least a momentary impact it seems, but no admission of guilt nor apology on that end either... absolutely insane.

have had okay to good experiences at LCY, LIS, AMS, LGW

@ny
I'm sorry you had a really bad experience. That's horrible. Estimated dates on the form are fine, if you can estimate them. If you went through the "normal" line, that's the "general" line. But I've also made that question optional.
