Today, while I was out to eat, I was approached by the restaurant manager. He told me that while he respected my personal choices, his patrons didn't feel comfortable with someone who used to be a man using the women's restroom. He thought I was a transsexual. I am a naturally-born female. FML

I don't see why people would be uncomfortable seeing someone using the restroom, I mean the woman's washroom have stalls... unless you were standing while peeing... or doing perverted shit by peeking on someone then yea. I'm a female and I walk into the guy's if the girl's is locked. Seriously, transsexual or not, if you have to go you have to go. But then again a guy wouldn't be comfortable seeing a female in their washroom. I feel for you but I can't help but laugh at this situation.

Most transgendered people I know look *fantastic*, you'd be hard pressed to tell. That aside, what the manager did was also against the law (at least in the US). Transgendered people who have undergone sexual reassignment surgery are then LEGALLY the gender they transitioned to. In other words, if you are a transgendered person born a man who transitions to a woman and has surgery, you can have your birth certificate altered. You can also now legally marry a woman in any state in the United States, because you ARE a woman. And all THAT aside, I wouldn't care if someone was a transvestite, if you're dressed as a woman feel free to use the bathroom. Unless the person (ANY PERSON) is doing something other than appropriately using the facility...who cares. :P What a bigot that manager was!

Yeah, if someone said that to me or someone I cared about enough to take offense to that... The offender would go missing several days later.

What a bitch he has no right to tell yo what bathroom you can and can't use. Trans people have the right to chose which bathroom they use if a unisex is not provide.

people like that are why i don't really go out anymore... people getting all bent out of shape for no real reason. it doesn't hurt anyone, really. i've heard the argument from cisfemales (cis meaning natal females) that they just 'wouldn't be comfortable with a man' in their bathroom, when really, the majority of transpeople (myself included) are some of the most peaceful people you'll ever meet. all we want to do is live our lives in a way that makes us feel comfortable. the only safe option for a lot of us is to not go out, or avoid the majority of public bathrooms. :(
