The machine doesnt know what gender this ugly man in an ugly womans body is. Must be a super-Troon

Even machines dont like Troons

It was supposed to be a straightforward trip to Auckland for Jem Traylen.

But a metal buckle kicked off a series of events that resulted Traylen, a transgender person, missing their flight and finding themselves at odds with airport security procedures.

The belt pinged the metal detector during a screening at Wellington Airport and Traylen was directed to pass through the Leidos Provision2 body scanner.

The advanced imaging technology compares a passenger's body to a body type algorithm, to search for unusual areas that may indicate a hidden weapon or contraband. Security staff make a call about the passenger’s gender, male or female.

On that day, attempts to process Traylen through the scanner as either male or female resulted in the system highlighting areas on their body that did not conform to either gender.
