Looking for personal accounts and news stories
I got a reply to the email I sent the reporter who did that atrocious story about the Kent Sate bathrooms a week or so back.
He suggested that incidents I'df mentioned were "urban legends". I replied that I was referring to info posted by the person they'd happened to.
But it's occurred to me that it would help to be able to cite real news stories (for example the ones about the trans-woman in NYC who was beaten up in the McDonald's restroom and then charged with attacking the guy who'd beaten her up).
So I'm looking for links to news stories about people being hassled for using the wrong bathroom as well as any personal accounts folks are willing to have linked.
And if someone recalls which LJ community a transwoman from Portland, OR posted about getting Mall security called on her I'd like that too. It was sometime in the last month or two
I'm hoping to ram this reporter's prejudices down his throat
