Transgender Bathrooms
No it's not wrong to have a problem with it but people need to realize that a TRANSGENDERED WOMAN who used to be a man but is now a woman just wants to pee. They're in the women's restroom because if they go in the man's restroom dressed as a woman which is the way they feel comfortable then they will get beat up. No one cares about their safety. Obviously if they are a transgendered woman who used to be a man they are not interested in you or your child, they just want to pee just like everyone else has the right to do. If they are now a woman they are obviously not interested in you. This law has only caused people's true colors to come out, the hate they have inside has come out. However, people have twisted this shit so bad and now all kinds of STRAIGHT men are using this to their advantage. If a man who clearly is dressed like a man is in the women's bathroom then there is a problem. They obviously don't belong there. However with that said, lesbians who look like men are starting to get harassed and told they don't belong in the women's restroom. Not just GLBT people are getting harassed because of this. A STRAIGHT woman in North Carolina who was taking a poop in the woman's restroom was harassed by police saying she was a man and didn't belong in the woman's restroom. She clearly looked like a woman but the police thought she was a Transgendered Woman, she was a straight woman born a woman who was in the right bathroom. The police pulled her off the toilet & out of the bathroom with her pants still down in front of a crowd. She was obviously embarrassed and she is suing the shit out of that police department which she clearly should. Not just for harassment but for emotional damage and embarrassment. This crap has gone way too damn far in my opinion. You have the right to your opinion as I do. Do we have to agree? No. Will you still be my friend even though your opinion differs to mine? Yes! That's what makes us all unique. We don't have to share the same opinions. You have kids, I don't so I can't understand quite what it's like to be a parent and protecting your child from such things. However, I do have a niece and I would kill any man who touched her in the wrong way. Would I want a man using the same restroom as my niece? Not a straight man! A transgendered woman who used to be a man? Sure why not. #trans #transgender

Transgender Awareness Day 15 August 2007
Transgender Awareness Day 15 August 2007
In August 1966, at an all night café called Comptons, in the city of San Francisco, transgendered people for the first time fought back against the harassment, abuse and discrimination heaped on then by the wider community and specifically the local Police.
Claudia McKay, President of Agender NZ says "This is still significant today. Because all transpeople wherever they are, need to acknowledge those who first stood up and said 'No more' to the abuses suffered by this community literally for centuries, within western society."
"A second significance is that in a few weeks the Human Rights Commission will release the results of its enquiry into discrimination against transgender people in Aotearoa New Zealand. We believe that our community is one of the most discriminated against of any minority group in the country and this enquiry, which is the first National enquiry of its type known to be conducted anywhere in the world, will shed light and make recommendations that if acted upon will significantly improve the lives of thousands of transpeople in Aotearoa New Zealand." She said.
Ms McKay says "Much has changed for transpeople since the rebellion at Comptons Café forty one years ago. Many of those who were there are now dead, those that are alive can say it is easier to live as your true self now, and yet, even now many people in the wider community do not understand, or carry misconceptions about us that all too often shows its ugly side in words and deeds."
On August 15 we honour our hero's and challenge New Zealanders to be tolerant of all difference, not just those considered to be politically correct.
We will have a stall erected in Midland Park in Central Wellington on Wednesday from 11am to 2pm where the public can meet and learn from and about the trans community who are, in reality, part of the whole, not some separate unit to be abused and discarded. We contribute to society and want everyone to know it.
