TSA INCIDENT REPORT FOR TRANSGENDER TRAVELERS

Some transgender and gender nonconforming people are being harassed and discriminated against in airport security lines because of intrusive new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) policies. The National Center for Lesbian Rights, the Transgender Law Center, and the National Center for Transgender Equality are working together to collect stories demonstrating that this is a serious problem. We will take this information to the TSA and individual airports to push for changes in policies, training, and attitudes. Your information helps us to take action!

We also encourage you to submit a complaint directly to DHS

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collects complaints relating to TSA screening procedures through its Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. In order to urge them to change their procedures, we need to make sure they are hearing about the problems experienced by transgender and gender nonconforming passengers through their internal complaint process as well. We encourage you to submit your story directly to DHS. It’s easy:

Step 1: Follow this link to the DHS complaint form
Step 2: Complete the form, including a detailed description of your experience
Step 3: Submit the form to DHS either by mail, email, fax, or through us.

DHS investigates all civil rights complaints to the extent possible with the information they are provided. If you wish to stay anonymous, or if you would simply like help submitting your complaint to DHS, please contact the NCLR helpline, the TLC helpline, or NCTE. We are more than willing to submit stories to DHS on your behalf.
