AUGUSTA, Maine — The Maine Human Rights Commission says a restaurant discriminated against a transgender woman by asking her to use the men’s room until she had sex reassignment surgery.

The manager of a Denny’s restaurant in Auburn made the request of Brianna Freeman of Lewiston after a female customer complained of having to share a restroom with "a man." Chad Cloutier, a lawyer representing the restaurant, says the woman threatened to call police.

Hmmm.....I think I am a woman therefore I need to use the women’s shower at the college gym.

“...females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.”

I’m definitely hetero.

the only way I can see to rationally address this is to designate restrooms based on sex chromosomes, e.g XX and XY.

With biometric scanners outside each door...it won't unlock unless you've got the correct chromosomes.

Sitters must sit, standers must stand.. And thats the way it........................... WAS....

The only time I suffered any major restroom confusion was when I was at a college bar. One door was labeled "Pointers" and the other "Setters". I stood there confused until I saw a guy come out of the Pointers door so I felt safe going in.

As a man, I can say I am happy it will not be in my restroom.

What happens to the legitimate XXYs of the world?

(There actually are real natural hermaphrodites.)

In my day, the “womyn” published the names of every male freshman with a caption “Potential Rapists”

That’s a man baby...

[NinoFan]

LOL, that might actually work in the near future. Crazy.

[nina0113]

They’ll just have to hold it till they get home.

One door was labeled "Pointers" and the other "Setters".

Try "Sooks" and "Jimmies" (female and male crabs) on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

If CSI analyzed a drop of his blood, would it show him to be a man or a woman?

This person is as much a woman as this guy is a cat...

...or this guy is a lizard...

These people are fundamentally ill.

There's a bar in Destin, FL where the Men's Room door is labeled

LADIES

This is the Mens' Room.
The Ladies' Room is across the hall.

The actual ladies' room is conversely labeled.

It's funny to watch the newbie drunks of both sexes.

When did we as a country decide that the so-called transgendered get all these rights? Did I miss the vote?

“Man, I feel like a woman” ????
