I have a good friend here in town that is transitioning. She has an "F" on the DL, something about social security law change made that possible...
Today we were out along a trail and she brought up the restroom thing and she is uncomfy with it. She said, "If they gave me hell about using the women's room, what would happen if they asked for ID? Can they even do that?"
At the time I was thinking about something else but I just said, "Ain't nobody gonna say anything unless you are in the restroom making a scene like asking the other women if you can (perform obscene act) or if you are waving your (equipment) around and saying (cure arnold voice) "I am the Penetrator!"
Well yeah, we are kind of crude about things at times.
Anyways I sent her a text later saying that most people won't ask cause they don't want to open a can of worms. I explained it is kind of for the same reason that the DMV doesn't break out a scale when fat women claim to weigh 120 pounds.
Said friend has not really built a lot of confidence yet. She does go out dressed but still a lot of anxiety. I guess at her job she catches a ton of hell about being TS so dealing with that probable doesn't help.
Does that seem about right? I mean what security, manager, or even policeman wants to get into that mess? I mean the person who persues it could open themselves to a lawsuit, especially if the person is legally a new gender.
