Looking at the pic of this woman, she doesn't really look "masculine" to me...Granted SOMETIMES it's hard for some people to tell these days (I try to look for a prominent adams apple but sometimes still have trouble telling!)
I can surely see her humilation in this...I was once filling out a job app. and had to take my youngest daughter along (no choice here as the co. I worked for bankrupted and I had no $ for child care) and the manager happened to be a butch-looking female, anyway my daughter made some loud comment about the "boy" right in front of the manager...I wanted to sink thru the floor! Needless to say, I didn't get that job!
This woman said she was in the restroom when the bouncer barged in...had I of been her I would have dropped my drawers immediately after volunteering too albeit there were no underage kids in there...
On one hand I commend the staff for acting quickly on what they thought may have been a male in the womens restroom...on the other hand I feel for this woman and others like her who have to face uncertainty/humiliation like this.
NEW YORK — A bouncer at a popular West Village restaurant ejected a lesbian customer from the bathroom after last month's gay pride march because she looked too masculine, the woman charged Monday.
Khadijah Farmer, 27, said the incident happened June 24 at Caliente Cab Company on Seventh Avenue South, where she had gone with her girlfriend and another friend to have dinner after the march.
Farmer said she was using the women's bathroom when a male bouncer burst in and banged on the stall door, saying a customer had complained that there was a man in the women's room.
"I said, 'I am a woman and I am where I am supposed to be,"' Farmer said. "I offered to show him some identification. I was told that's neither here nor there." more at link http://www.foxnews.com/index.html
