It's so nice to know that the bureaucrats have the best interests of normal, sane people in mind at all times, isn't it?
Now, will any provision made for safety for "real" women who don't want to be preyed upon by rapists and thugs dressing in drag to gain access to, literally, sitting ducks? Or do they have to just suck it up in order to appease the freaks?
Normal, healthy, sane and real women will be victimized in any and every horrific way if they dare to go into these restrooms. The real ladies who are forced to use this transit system will quickly learn that they need to use restrooms elsewhere, preferably at home, and then eat and drink NOTHING all day long in order to preclude any need to use a public rest facility. The more frail of these ladies will pass out from hunger or a sugar imbalance and will then be victimized as a result of their reduced mental state.
Welcome to the jungle.
Or am I being too sensitive (or insensitive?) here?
Only in the eyes of the perverts and their sympathizers. Normal, healthy and sane people will nod their heads in agreement with your insightful comments.
What you wanted to do was go out on the lex side and up into the hotel, there are mens and ladies rooms on the second floor up the short escaltor. Or, you could have gone down into the Oyster Bar, the bathroom is just off the bar area.
A true New Yorker knows where a clean, safe bathroom is within any two blocks of any location in the city.
Oh...silly me....that's absolutely un-PC and totally unacceptable today, I'm sure....

Where does the NOW gang stand on this isssue?
This is the world of Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani and Pataki, where the only difference between a Republican and Democrat are a few letters.
Does it include pre-ops or post-op transsexuals, does it include the cross dressers as well if they choose to use the female toilets.
There is no telling how many pervs are packing bras as we speak.
Although I haven't seen a press release from them, I think that we can assume that they will be just as vocal as they were in the matter of Bill Clinton's numerous nefarious escapades, which means they will be silent.
They dare not alienate the Queer Vote, as that is their constituency.
And an ugly man, at that.
If the law isn't worded this way at the moment, it will invariably come to mean anyone who thinks that they are female, should be female, or wants to be female regardless of physical appearance or even their mode of dress.
"One rider feared predators might dress as women and lurk in the women's room."
One rider? Make that a whole lot of women who know that when a criminal can see an opportunity, they will use it.
For awhile there was a transgendered man working in our local mall as a hearing aid technician. When I realized it (his business card said John aka Jane), I made up my mind that if I ever saw him walk into the Ladies Room at the mall, I would wait about fifteen seconds, step barely into the room and make a public announcement somewhat along these lines "Attention, ladies. There is a man who prefers to dress as a woman using the restroom at the moment. Act accordingly." Then I would leave. However, he left his job before the tactic became necessary. Guess he got tired of the commute to San Francisco, which is an hour away.
Well, the days of sending your pre-teen
child alone to the public lavie are over!

He doesn't even need a dress. All he has to do is put on a bra, stuff it with some kleenex, and he's good to go.
If I complain, I'm inssnsitive.
Never in a million years would I be attracted to a gay man. Years ago, when I was a teenager, there was this boy in church that all the girls went gaga over. Not me. I didn't know about the gay lifestyle then, but he just turned me off somehow. Anyway, years later, I found out that he 'came out' and is now living as a homosexual.
Put him in Old Crusty and he'd look just like Hillary!
Makes me ill as well. We are screwed.
