TSA codifies the pat-down bar and restroom exclusion into standard operating procedures and rescinds Management Directive 900.3

TSA issued a "Frequently Asked Questions" document incorporating the February 7 Directive into agency standard operating procedures. It memorializes that "transgender officers will no longer engage in pat-down duties, which are conducted based on both the traveler's and officer's biological sex," and mandates that "intimate facilities within a TSA-controlled space dedicated for use by either 'females' or 'males' are designated by sex and not identity. Employees must use such facilities consistent with their sex, as defined in the EO." The FAQ confirms that Management Directive No. 900.3, "Transitioning and Transgender Officers," and its associated Handbook — which had required that officers be "assigned work — including pat-downs in a manner consistent with their gender identity" and be "allowed access to restrooms and (on the same basis as available to others) locker room facilities consistent with the Officer's gender identity" — "has been rescinded." The FAQ further cancels trainings that "inculcate or promote gender ideology," discontinues Pride Month recognition, forbids "Gender X" and pronouns in email signatures and TSA forms, and removes references to "gender identity" and "transgender" from TSA's Equal Employment and Nondiscrimination Notices. In late January and early February 2025 TSA separately removed "gender expression" and "gender identity" from the "Protected Bases" listed in its Anti-Harassment Program.
