22-year-old Aimee Toms was washing her hands in a Danbury, Conn. Wal-Mart restroom and was verbally assaulted by another shopper. The shopper called Toms“disgusting” and told her “you don’t belong here,” because it’s apparent that having a pixie-style haircut and baseball cap automatically means someone is a dude. Following the incident, Toms posted a video about the experience, wherein she said:
“After experiencing the discrimination they face firsthand, I cannot fathom the discrimination transgender people must face in a lifetime. Can you imagine going out every day and having people tell you you should not be who you are or that people will not accept you as who you are?”
Jessica Rush, wearing her hair in a bleached blonde fauxhawk and a Texas Tech T-shirt, went to use a public restroom at Baylor Medical Center in Frisco, Texas. She found herself interrupted by a guy barging into the women’s restroom like the Kool-Aid Man playing potty detective to make sure Rush was peeing in the appropriate place.
Jessica Rush was born a woman and identifies as a woman. She just likes having a fauxhawk and wearing a T-shirt from her alma mater. After disrupting her, the crapper crusader told her he thought she was man and repeatedly said “you dress like a man”as he walked away from her.
And then there’s the infamous viral video of the lesbian woman in a public restroom with her friends being forcefully removed by police after she was unable to produce identification stating she was female. She, too, was wearing clothing that did not conform to “traditional female attire,” for lack of a better phrase, and even though all of her friends vouched for her, she was physically removed from the restroom by a bald, red-faced, male cop.
