There was an attorney confined to a wheelchair who made himself hundreds of thousands of dollars for himself by finding small businesses he deemed “inaccessible” or not sufficiently accessible to handicapped people. All he had to do was file a complaint and the businesses had to settle with him as it was cheaper than fighting it in court. Methinks some transvestites are seeing the same pot of gold.
(I wrote transvestites because as far as I and science are concerned, there’s no such thing as transitioning from one sex to another.)
“There was an attorney confined to a wheelchair who made himself hundreds of thousands of dollars...”
Similar to your story, there was a lawyer in SoCal who made lots of money threatening vintners who used lead foil with lawsuits. He’d settle for less than the cost of defending the suit. Lots of wineries in SoCal. Lots of yoga studios, gyms, etc in NYC.
Most “transgender” people still have their original equipment. We used to call the dudes transvestites or female impersonators. Women who dressed like men were “butch” or just called dykes.
Speaking of dykes, many years ago I had a job that involved transporting envelopes that traveled together in large plastic bags secured with zip ties. We used a particular hand tool to cut the zip ties. One day a certain male employee could not locate said tool, so he yelled out “has anyone seen the dykes?”
He got dirty looks from about eight directions, as the industry in question seemed to attract a certain type of woman, if you catch my drift.
Later he says to me, “what’s the big deal? That’s what my dad used to call those.”
