A Detroit woman has filed a lawsuit against restaurant chain Fishbone's after a frightening incident in which she was mistaken for a man and tossed out of a women's bathroom, reports TV station WXYZ.

Cortney Bogorad wears her hair cropped short and is cisgender, meaning she is not a trans woman.

She said after dinner, at 11 p.m. on January 23, she enterted the restroom at Fishbone's Rhythm City Cafe. She heard a voice yelling from outside — apparently from a security guard — that "whatever man is in the restroom needs to come out now." Bogorad said she ignored him because she did not realize she was the "man" the guard sought.

This is when the situation got scary, said Bogorad.

The guard allegedly entered the bathroom yelling, "This is a woman's bathroom, if you are a man, come out!" and pulled Bogorad by the arms out of the stall when she opened its door. She said he then pushed her up against the wall, saying "boys aren't allowed in this restroom," according to the Detroit Free Press.

1. So, assuming that the security guard is cis...

A heterosexual male stormed into a women's restroom and assaulted the woman that he found there?



Yep, it's clear that society should be worried about trans people sneaking into bathrooms.

2. Isn't that the truth?

I'm more concerned about both physical and emotional damage done in the name of these new ridiculous laws.

3. Awful

I keep wondering what NC intends to do when transgender people actually go into their required birth gender bathroom.
1) man to woman transgender person goes into men's room....what are the men thinking when they see a woman come in.....
2) WORSE ! woman to man transgender person goes into the women's bathroom... Will the women call security when they see a man come in?
😧
Unintended consequences....

4. Then the law still fulfills its purpose -

That is, attempting to make life for transgender people unbearable because it would appease their sky fairy.
