Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman took to Twitter on May 24 to detail an incident at an airport security checkpoint that made her feel body-shamed and uncomfortable.
Raisman, who is a six-time Olympic medalist, began by recounting how a female TSA agent recognized her by her toned biceps. A male TSA worker then looked her up and down and made a comment about Raisman’s physique.
“I don’t see any muscles,” he reportedly said, while continuing to stare.
Raisman felt his commentary and staring were rude, and she took to Twitter to share her disgust.
“I work very hard to be healthy & fit,” she wrote. “Get over yourself. Are u kidding me? It’s 2017. When will this change?”
