The Never-Ending Bathroom Debate

[Linus]

Apparently a trans woman (pre-op) was denied access to the women's bathroom at a Denny's --- even though she has been using that washroom in that same Denny's for the last year

Even as an FTM, I have been refused the right to be in the "washroom" or change room of choice. Most recently I had contacted a 24-hour gym to see which facilities I'd be asked to use. They said it would be whatever is on my official ID (which is still F). I somehow doubt that me -- full beard and all -- would be really welcomed in the women's change room.

I was at least pleased that they were honestly enough to reply to my email about this upfront but seriously, it's annoying to wonder at times. I like working out at gyms sometimes (especially spinning classes) but don't want to wait until I have surgery (part of the need to lose weight is in prep for surgery and general health).

Sigh.

Sorry. Just needed to vent a bit. If anyone wants to comment, go for it.
