Woman mistaken for transgender harassed in Walmart bathroom
[quote]DANBURY - Aimee Toms was washing her hands in the women’s bathroom at Walmart in Danbury Friday when a stranger approached her and said, “You’re disgusting!” and “You don’t belong here!”
After momentary confusion, she realized that the woman next to her thought - because of her pixie-style haircut and baseball cap - that she was transgender.
Toms believes the incident happened because of the national controversy sparked by a law that was passed in North Carolina attempting to force transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they were identified as at birth. Since then, religious conservatives have launched a boycott of Walmart competitor Target, which has said transgender people are welcome to use its bathrooms freely. Nationally, Walmart has been silent on the issue.
Toms, a 22-year-old from Naugatuck who works at a retail store in the Bethel-Danbury retail area around Walmart, posted a video “rant” about her experience on Facebook Friday that had been viewed more than 12,000 times by Sunday evening.
“After experiencing the discrimination they face firsthand, I cannot fathom the discrimination transgender people must face in a lifetime,” she said. “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?”

Well, I guess this is a thing that's going to be happening more often. It's a damn shame.

1 RespuestaI told anomaly that they wouldn't let him, I mean her in that bathroom.

To everyone saying she deserves it for looking like a man and having short hair: If you read the article she donates her hair to cancer patients... she has short hair because she is being a kind person. On top of which someone having short hair shouldn't automatically equal transgender. Plenty of straight women have short hair and plenty of guys are attracted to it. Offtopic makes me sick sometimes.

Why the heck do people care so much. They don't bother you while they go. They don't assault you, they are just trying to go.
-
4 RespuestasMaybe she should start looking like a woman instead of a man.

Yeah we are douchebags

7 RespuestasWhy should I accept somebody else for who they are, when they can't accept who they are.

On one hand I think trans people are really just mental and rub me the wrong way. On the other they are still people and deserve to be treated like them.
-
Were there any witnesses to this account? Or is this article being based on only what she says
-
4 RespuestasIt's very simple use the bathroom corresponding with the gender of your birth.
-
12 RespuestasI don't get why everyone is so distraught that transgendered may or may not be in the same room as them. Are they touching your genitals? No? Staring at them? No?Then you shouldn't give a shit.
-
Even though I don't support transgender people, it's horrible that they are being treated like this
-
Trans people have been using the bathroom of their choice for years and no ones said anything. Wonder what our governments up to....
-
I thought for something to be classified as harassment that it had to be a reoccurring thing, not a one time thing.

Editado por Spartan 22O: 5/19/2016 2:05:48 PMHow is telling someone you think they're disgusting discrimination? It's only discrimination when you take action against. She's probably more pissed off that someone mistook her for a trans even though she is not. Fuvkin loser.

thats her or its fault for having a dumbass haircut
-
Who cares
