- Hello everyone! Today I share some tips for trans masculine people going through airport security. This advice could generally translate for most trans people but I share my experience as someone who is trans masculine. Hopefully this will make any future airport trips less nerve wracking!
Do you have any tips I may have missed? Any interesting experiences to share? Comment them down below!

ABOUT ME:
Hi, I’m Sam. I’m a queer trans man from London. I’m a fraud investigator but lately I’ve been feeling called to share my experiences here. The past few years have also been a ride for me medically, from a slipped disc to fibromyalgia, to being diagnosed with an aneurysm.
Between being trans and facing these medical issues, I’ve really been through it and it’s really put life into perspective. I hope sharing this can bring a bit of ease to someone else, in what can otherwise often feel like a lonely situation.

You remind me of Elijah Wood! Thanks for the video. I don't plan on flying anytime soon, but it has been a fear of mine. Especially imagining my packer showing up on their screen.
Aww thanks haha, can’t say I’ve ever gotten that comparison before! Glad I could help with the video though 😊
Thanks for the info. Traveling in a few months and have been pretty stressed out.
No worries! I'm so glad I could help, I hope you have a great trip :)
I'm planning on travelling to Ghana this summer, a country that unfortunately has some pretty intense anti-LGBT laws where LGBT people tend to be imprisoned or killed. I pass very well as I've been on T for a couple years, but I'm still pre-op, pre-name change, etc. I keep going back and forth about how safe I'll be going through that airport, I wanted to ask if you had any more advice specific to my situation?
Hey! Unfortunately I don't think I could give any well informed advice her. Is it possible to at least change your name before you go? Otherwise I think it depends on what the context of the trip is/if there's anybody there you can reach out to about it etc.
Im really anxious about this. I would like to travel to africa, Asia etc.. where people are still really uneducated about the whole thing and yk, i really wonder if they are able to see that i have a Packer and its not the real thing. Obviously i would only go there once all my papers Match my appearance but still.
Hey! It can be scary but plenty of people do it. I think so long as you go to a country where there isn't harsh legislation around trans people, you'd be fine. And I honestly wouldn't worry about the packer thing :)
The last time I was in an airport, my binder clasps got flagged by the scanner. The only pat down my legs, oddly enough. I did get new ones without fastenings though, I'm planning to pack this time as well. I'm flying on Monday.
Ahh that sort of makes sense! I hope you had a good trip!
Gender diagnosis letter and what was that first one you would always carry?
My deed poll that shows my change of name :)
Planning on going to Korea but one thing I'm worrying about is getting my T shots through security, like would it be flagged up or anything because if so, what do I say?
So I haven't gone on my trip yet, but my Endo gave me a signed paper saying I NEED this medication on me at all times due to a condition I have and also said she approves it and says if they have issue to call her and all
if you have the prescription on you (it's usually on a paper you get or the medication itself) just bring it w/ ur checked bag thru security. Since T is not banned in Korea they will not do anything abt it. You might get a snarky agent but usually they just are not paid enough to care LMAO.
They are going to tyerd to see ftm around hare
Hey! What do you mean?
