Transgender woman posts sobbing selfie in JFK’s bathroom after claiming a TSA agent punched her testicles, leaving them in extreme pain
- A transgender woman claimed a TSA agent slapped her testicles and yelled at me for having a penis.
- She called for TSA airport checks to be removed and the agent “trained” in response to the episode
- In 2021, another transgender flyer slammed “transphobic” TSA screenings, urging them to “remove gender settings from their scanners.”
A transgender woman has called for TSA airport screenings to be scrapped after she claimed an agent punched her in the testicles and “yelled at me for having a penis”.
The flyer posted a since-deleted selfie showing her sobbing in a toilet stall after the episode and complaining that her “balls still hurt so much.”
“I don’t want the TSA agent who hurt me to be fired,” she said in a separate post. “I want her to be cleared up and the entire TSA abolished completely.”
After being “humiliated” at airport security, she claimed the agent then followed her into the ladies’ room and discussed the interaction with a colleague while she cried behind a stall.
She has since posted deleted selfies of herself sobbing in a toilet stall after the incident, and later called for TSA airport security to be abolished in response

After the allegations were posted on social media, the airport said it was investigating the incident.
“We apologize again for your experience,” it said on Twitter. “Your comments have been noted and shared.”
The transgender flier’s decision to rush to the airport stand, and allegations that it put the TSA agent in question, comes more than seven years after New York passed legislation allowing a person of any gender to be any Use the bathroom of your choice.
Similar laws are also in effect in several other states, including North Carolina, California and Nevada.
In another incident in 2021, a transgender woman lashed out at TSA screenings for being “transphobic” after an “abnormality” was found between her legs that “set off the alarm.”
“Can we talk about how awful it is sometimes to travel while being transgender? I’m always scared before going through security,” Rosalynne Montoya explained.
After being reported by the security system, she asked the TSA to “remove gender settings from their scanners” to accommodate transgender people.
Debates over transgender issues have become a hot topic in recent years, including whether athletes who have gone through male puberty and later transitioned should be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Last week, a transgender cyclist won first place in a top women’s bike race in New York City when 46-year-old Tiffany Thomas blew the competition out of the water.
But the win came just weeks after former cycling champion Hannah Arensman retired from the sport entirely after missing out on a podium finish for a trans cyclist.
Recent incidents like these led to World Athletics banning all transgender athletes from competitions after numerous female athletes and coaches warned officials that there was “no way” to reverse their natural physical advantage.
