New in PJ Media:
Despite his name and his demands that the rest of us play pretend along with him, Danielle Mittereder is a man. Or at very least, he is a male. Despite his delusions and fantasies, or more likely in this age of absurdity, because of them, Danielle Mittereder is also a TSA agent. That’s absurd enough in itself: a man who is in the grip of severe confusion and delusion doesn’t seem on the face of it to be well-suited to the job of identifying and stopping potential terrorists, but his story gets much worse from there.
Since Mittereder’s bosses at the Transportation Security Administration are aware that the name of the agency is not the Transgender Security Administration, and because they also know that Danielle Mittereder is really a man, they don’t allow him to pat down women. And now the enraged Mittereder is suing them, because he really, really wants to pat down women, and also because he really, really wants the TSA, and the world, to play along with his fantasies and pretend that he is really a woman.
The Western Journal reported Sunday that “a self-proclaimed [is there another kind?] transgender employee of the Transportation Security Administration filed a lawsuit over his inability to perform pat-downs under the Trump administration.” Mittereder filed this suit over the TSA’s policy that stipulates that only male agents can pat down men, and only female agents can pat down women.
The point of this policy is obvious, or at least should be. TSA pat-downs are humiliating and intrusive enough without having to add in the possibility of some perverted agent committing sexual assault in the guise of checking for weapons. Yes, this can happen in same-sex pat-downs as well, but it’s much more likely to take place with a male agent and a comely female passenger than it is in any other scenario.
Heedless of any need to guard against that possibility, however, Mittereder is “challenging the Department of Homeland Security over its new policy ensuring that TSA agents can only screen members of their actual sex.” He claims that the same-sex pat-down policy “violates federal civil rights law.”
Yeah, those intrusive, unwarranted, and unnecessary TSA searches are a “civil right” now. Yes, of course we have to stop jihad terrorists from trying to bring down airplanes. But treating every passenger as if he or she were a jihad terrorist is just security theater, not actual security. It would be much more efficient to identify people who are genuinely threatening, as Israel does, but that would involve “profiling,” and is hence verboten. Security theater? Yes. And the show must go on.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Some big husky guy could dress up as a woman….makeup and heels…and then dare this lying scum to “pat *her* down.”
Just as police officers don’t have a *right* to beat down a suspected criminal, the patter’s-down of the TSA don’t have a *right* to grope female passengers. The Constitution says nothing about TSA employees and their *rights.*…patting down or otherwise.
And what about the female passengers’ rights not to be sexually assaulted? They *Trump* this goon’s pretense to rights.

His lawsuit will be interesting when it gets to the “discovery” stage.

So if a Drag Queen needs a Pat Down will this prick do it as he wants to Pat Down a woman and most Drag Queens go along with his delusion, mostly?.
Fire the dude, simple theory for not doing doing HIS job in according to the Rules HE signed for.

The thing about personal delusions/kinks is that
they don’t tend to keep to themselves.
The deluded/kinky take theirs with them wherever they go. They are inseparable.
The delusional/kinky have to make a living.
Thus, their delusion/kink goes to work with them.
Perhaps this delusion/kink needs to be treated like any other disability,
i.e. Reasonable Accommodation.
If society is expected to accommodate them at work, the deluded/kinky need to accept the employment limitations imposed on them by their delusion/kink disability.

The fact that he’s insisting on groping women, shows he knows. Otherwise, he would just be objecting to having to pat down the men. He could stand behind the x-ray of the bags instead of being a patter.

Point well taken. His actions do show us.
I’m looking for the legal work around to the AFGE, Federal Union discrimination case that surely to follow.
It’s his delusion/kink “disability” that limits his employment.
He can’t be employed by TSA because his “disability”
can’t be “Reasonably Accommodated” there.
He needs to find a different job. One that can “accommodate” his disability.
He could be assigned to a “honey bucket” crew for one of the airlines.
