Most uncomfortable moment to date ... We had a TG male come in (f>m) who needed to be body searched and also monitored for a urine.

Everybody else in the office was in a tizzy over how do do the search. As low woman on the totem pole, it got handed to me. Hyperguy was all "how do you do with that?"

By not making it a big deal.

Went in with the young transman, explained the process, and started by saying, "So, are you wearing a binder or have you had top surgery already?"

Nothing like breaking the ice by cutting to the chase, and letting him know that I was cool with the deal, didn't really mind, and just wanted to get to business.
