That was my fear, too. That is, having your identity questioned. I tried to get on a United flight once with a ticket issued to my nickname which didn't match the name on my DL even though the picture matched my face pretty well. Can't imagine if I tried it en femme.

I'll be issued one of those letters, too. Illinois has laws to protect the rights of transgenders, but you are still subject to harassment by over zealous security people. The letter is good to have with you at all times.
