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!

So even if a man had gotten a sex change they would not be allowed to use the ladies restroom(?!), because OTHER people feel uncomfortable?! First, that's discrimination..and the manager jumped to conclusions...and second who's business is it who uses the bathroom...shouldn't those nosey patrons mind their food and own business?!

#15 It was against the law. Even if she were a transsexual, she would legally be a woman. Not a man. And it is illegal for the manager to treat her like that, because she has every right to use the bathroom. But anyway, I'm sorry. I've been mistaken for a boy on some occasions, but I can imagine how horrible this would be. Just stand tall.

Take it one step up. Regional manager. Get his ass fired.
