TSA Agent Who Say’s He’s a Woman Claims ‘Civil Right’ to Grope Women

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.

This could backfire on trans activists ... one can certainly hope it will.
