Aly Raisman and the TSA: It Was Rude, But Was It Body Shaming?

Aly Raisman took to Twitter to detail an “uncomfortable” body-shaming incident that happened while she was going through airport security.

The six-time Olympic medalist, 23, said a female TSA employee asked if she was a gymnast and commented that she recognized her by her biceps. Raisman claims a male TSA worker stared at her and replied, “I don’t see any muscles.”

Raisman added that the man was “very rude” and was “staring at me shaking his head like it couldn’t be me because I didn’t look ‘strong enough’ to him? Not cool.”
