Security Check and Tights

Last year I posted about how i like to add a little of my whole self into my everyday life . This is done through things I can hide since most feminine clothing is easy to spot. At least for the obvious and I hate to say it, but most mornings I wake up hoping to increase my options in clothing choices. This will only happen if I see on the news that "World Agrees, Female Fashion is now Males Fashion!"

Well, the reason I'm bringing this up comes from a little tourist moment I had today with my friends. (Who I haven't told directly about myself.) We decided it would be cool to see the St. Louis Arch during their visit and when we got there a security checkpoint was waiting. I looked ahead and saw it wasn't as stringent like the airport and so I went ahead confidant. When it was my turn I removed most of my metallic garments but forgot my necklace. Of course I set off the alarm and unlike the last person who got the wand from security, the yelled across the X-ray counter to lift my pant legs. Oh dear god I thought to myself. He said in more detail that I needed to lift them above your socks. I reluctantly pulled them above my ankles all the way to my calfs. I said to him with everyone in a ears shot (My friends) that they went up the whole leg. By the way to give you a visual I was wearing muted green tights under my pants to go along with my earthy tone outfit. After seeing I wasn't packing any heat the guard let me pass. Curious of my friends reaction I saw they looked spaced out as nothing happened and we enjoyed the rest of the day.

I'm happy this didn't bring anything up, but I'm also wondering that if what I do comes across as normal will I be able to do more. If that's the case I might finally get the rest of my footwear some rightfully deserved adventures.
