A new bill in Congress, called the “Screening With Dignity Act,” could mandate that the Transportation Safety Administration alter their passenger screening program to become more “inclusive” of transgender and non-gender binary individuals.
According to Gizmodo, the bill, introduced by Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY), would force the TSA to adopt “new training protocols, new privacy protections, and, chiefly, a cost analysis of recalibrating full-body screening technology,” so that transgender and non-binary individuals aren’t accidentally “mis-gendered” during the X-ray screening or pat down process.
