A Nashville woman who found herself face-to-face with a “big, burly” cross-dresser in the ladies room of a family restaurant felt her horror turn to anger after a restaurant manager suggested she try the men’s room.
Transgendered people in several states have been fighting for the right to use public restrooms that correspond with whatever sex they consider themselves, with lawmakers in California and Massachusetts providing support for the idea. But David Staton, whose wife had the disquieting run-in while eating out at Amerigo, a restaurant in the country music capital, has a simple solution.
“There needs to be some sort of law that says if you are born a man with man-parts, you go to the men’s bathroom,” said Staton.“In a family restaurant, men should go to the men’s room and women should go to the women’s.”
Amerigo owner Doug Hogrefe confirmed to Fox News that the incident occurred and apologized to the couple. ------ It was a small restroom and she was waiting for a stall,” he said. “And that’s when she came face to face with a guy well over six feet. She immediately blurted out, ‘Am I in the men’s bathroom?’” She was not. ------ As a temporary solution, the manager suggested he would be happy to let her use the men’s bathroom and he would personally stand guard. “I said, are you kidding me?” Staton said. “You’re going to ask my wife to go to the men’s bathroom because there are men in the women’s bathroom?” Hogrefe said the restaurant manager “made every attempt to accommodate her.”
Yeah, except get the big burly freak our of the ladie's room!! Any man could dress up as a cross-dresser and enter the ladies room while scouting out his next victim.
The manager wasn't going to enter the ladies' room because he was scared.
