A transgender woman says she was kicked out of a Giant bathroom by a security guard. News4's Jackie Bensen spoke with the woman who said her privacy was invaded.
D.C. police have charged a security guard at a Giant grocery store with simple assault after a transgender woman said the guard forced her out of the women's restroom.
Ebony Belcher, 32, said she went to the Giant in northeast D.C. with a friend to pick up a delivery from the Western Union.
While at the Giant, she asked a store employee to point her to the restroom and passed a female security officer standing in the hallway.
The officer came into the restroom and told her to get out, according to Belcher.
"She opened the door and came in and started calling me derogatory names," Belcher said.
She said the officer put her hand on her shoulder and arm, grabbed her and pushed her out of the store.
Belcher said the guard told her, "You guys cannot keep coming in here and using our women's restroom. They did not pass the law yet."
She said she called police and reported the incident after she left the store. According to a police report, officers arrested the guard at the Giant after the confrontation.
D.C. Police arrested a security guard at a Giant in Northeast Wednesday. Sources tell News4 the guard is accused of assaulting a transgender woman who wanted to use the women's restroom. News4's Jackie Bensen reports.
Belcher said she suffers from Parkinson's disease and almost fell while the officer was shoving her. The guard, who has not been identified, is a special police officer at a Giant store near Third and H streets in northeast D.C.
NYC Ad Agencies Engage in War of the Post-It Notes Giant issued a statement, which read: "As this matter involves a third party that provides security services for Giant and there's an ongoing criminal investigation, all inquiries related to the incident at the H Street Giant should be directed to the local police for a comment at this time."
President Obama recently issued a directive to public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.
A controversial law in North Carolina has also brought the issue to the forefront. The law says transgender people must use public bathrooms, showers and changing rooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. The Justice Department has sued North Carolina, saying the law violates civil rights laws.
A very telling quote.
I’m officially asking all my FRiends to stop using the word “transgender.” There are cross-dressers, transvestites, or female or male impersonators, but no such thing as a “transgendered” person exists. The prefix “trans” means “across”, “changing”, or “through”. By using the word transgender we are implicitly admitting that someone can change their gender.
Substituting the word “fake” for the word “transgender” is the easiest way to figure out the biological sex of the person offended.
“Ebony Belcher, 32, said she went to the Giant in northeast D.C. with a friend to pick up a delivery from the Western Union.”’
I am sorry but SHE didn’t go anywhere... HE went into a woman’s bathroom..... Gender is not a choice it is biology... enabling folks who are so mentally ill they cannot or won’t accept their biological reality is inexcusable. These people need help and pity, not enabling and pandering.
In this case the term “transvestite” should be used. But I think that word has been banned and any reporter caught using it may be fined or jailed.
If Obama had a son ....
And to think this all consuming idiocy didn’t exist two weeks ago!
I’m on the guard’s side.
XY chromosomes all the way, ain’t no gettin’ around it no matter how much lipstick they put on the pig or whether it was castrated first. XY until you die.
News4 seems a little confused. I saw the video. That is a GUY.
thanks - I will sleep well tonight know I am no longer confused. That’s why I love FR.
Whatever the left says it is it’s the opposite. “transgender woman” is a man with a penis and testicles.
1 - Ebony is either a cross-dressing/drag queen/transvestite man, or a cross-dressing/drag queen/transvestite eunuch. Ebony is not a woman, a her or a she.
2- Ebony is the spitting image of Wookie.
3- Earline Budd, a trannie spokesmodel, also in the video, is worth the price of admission.
uh huh.
Uncanny resemblance. GMTA.
