Calif. mom claims retailer booted her for complaining about man in girls' restroom

A California woman, who spoke to FoxNews.com but asked not to be identified, said she was shopping with her 12-year-old daughter and the girl’s younger friend when her daughter told her what had happened moments earlier at an REI sporting goods store during a shopping trip in late August.

“We started to drive to another store and she said to me, ‘Mom, I need to tell you something,’” said the woman. “I asked her what was wrong and she told me ‘A man used the bathroom while we were in there and it scared me.’”

When the mother turned the car around and went back to the store to confront the manager of the Santa Rosa store, she said she was stunned to learn that the man, who she said was not dressed in women’s clothes and did not appear outwardly to be transgender, had done nothing wrong in the eyes of the employees and other customers.

“I spoke with the manager and told her what happened,” the mother said. “She didn’t skip a beat. She told me that REI does not decide who people are or what they can do.”

The exchange didn’t stop there, according to the woman, who said the unidentified store manager lectured her in front of customers before ordering her to leave.

Excellent! I’ll shop at Dick’s for my sporting goods! They’re on the other end of the mall from you jack@sses. :)

How one “identifies” is so transient these days, first Bruce Jenner and now this. Can’t people make up their mind anymore? /supersarc

Cops need to arrest the perv. Pray he resists.

The California law has been met with opposition, with a counter bill being proposed for a November 2016 ballot. The Personal Privacy Protection Act aims to mandate that people in government facilities would use a restroom according to their biological sex and not based on which gender they may identify with, The law also aims to protect business owners from potential lawsuits for requiring that employees use bathrooms based on their sex.

This initiative will pass overwhelmingly. Even liberals don't want potential molesters hanging around in girls bathrooms.

The police might stop by her house and give her some “counseling”. I am not kidding. That is what happened to me when I complained to my city councilwoman about an illegal alien campsite near my home in California. A uniformed cop came to my front door and told me that they do not have the manpower to do anything.

That woman would regret saying that after I got finished with her.

Well, it could be another bruce about to lop off his weewee and “transitioning” to a woman. If so, he/she/it has priority in the victimhood pecking order.

The country is going insane.

Can we “identify as” people who don’t take no crap from liberals?

Never heard of “REI,” and now that I have, will never darken their doorway, and will make sure that all my FReinds, neighbors, relatives and passing acquaintances know how badly REI treats its customers!

‘She told me that REI does not decide who people are or what they can do.’

Here's an idea: go into your local REI and load your pockets up with the most expensive stuff you can carry, then walk out...if they 'do not decide who people are or what they can do' then they shouldn't have any objection, right?
