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!

oh wow another piece of shit "ORIGINAL" fml about someone mistaking someone elses gender. BEEN THERE DONE THAT.

#22, yes, you're absolutely right, there's only ever been one case of mistaken gender in the world, and all others are clearly ripoffs or fakes, as it's impossible that it could happen twice. On a planet of nearly 7 billion people. **** off, sunshine.

You should have called him out on it. You could have gotten a free meal, free dessert, hell maybe even a keychain out of the deal! haha

i hope you got a free something out of that.

#24, I couldn't have said it any better myself. That manager, what an ass. **** HIS life.

WOW, that is so damn rude! What an arse. Who cares even if you were trans? Some people are so close minded. I really hope you blasted him for this!

Today, I had complaints from some patrons of the restaurant I'm manager of that they felt uncomfortable because there was a transgender woman using the women's bathroom. I approached her to explain that some of the other customers were uncomfortable and found out that she was a natural born female. FML

Maybe if you sat down to pee there wouldn't be all this confusion.
