Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. In the time-disgraced tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
● Matrix homeserver and space
● Theory discussion group on Matrix
● Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna's Archive and libgen
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Been reading about trans people's experiences with the TSA because flying is the only way I'll ever get to be with my girlfriends (I'm in Atlantic Canada, they're in western US), it's just such a worry for me and makes me feel like I'll never be able to make it happen because being sexually assaulted is not a price I'm willing or able to pay
Hadn’t had troubles with TSA so far, if it helps
It’s anecdotal but me and my partner haven’t had much trouble with TSA in major cities. They’re either genuinely to busy to care, or you have to act like an asshole and piss them off to have a problem happen. But if you’re flying from a major Canadian city to someplace like LAX, no TSA agent is going to bother you or give you the time of day.
I would avoid smaller airports with less traffic though. You might run into some bored hicks and that is a recipe for disaster.
I appreciate this comment, I've heard it's gotten a bit better over the past year or so too because they have new body scanners apparently, thank you for the reassurance
Still not entirely sure if I can make myself do it, the consequences of the potential worst case scenario are so absolutely horrible that I have to be absolutely certain it's not going to happen in order for me to be willing to take the risk, I probably wouldn't be able to handle even the most basic patdown if the scanners decide to flag me, let alone if a TSA agent decides to be an abuser that day
I really wish though that this pointless security theater organization would be abolished already so that merely travelling internationally wasn't so much to worry about
