Woman mistaken for transgender harassed in Walmart bathroom

DANBURY - Aimee Toms was washing her hands in the women’s bathroom at Walmart in Danbury Friday when a stranger approached her and said, “You’re disgusting!” and “You don’t belong here!”

After momentary confusion, she realized that the woman next to her thought - because of her pixie-style haircut and baseball cap - that she was transgender.

Besides being a pretty normal choice of style for women, Toms’ has a short haircut because she recently donated hair - for the third time - to a program that makes wigs for child cancer patients.

“I’ve had people call me all sorts of names for having short hair. I’ve had people call me a boy, I’ve had people call me a dyke, I’ve had people call me gay.” Toms said. “I’m grateful that that woman only called me disgusting and didn’t physically attack me … I was a victim of transphobia today as a cisgender female because my hair is short.”

Toms said she was supportive of transgender rights before Friday’s Walmart experience. She is close friends with several transgender people, including someone she went to high school with who went from prom queen to identifying as a male.

She thought her video would be seen only by friends and family, and was surprised to soon be getting messages of support from people “all across the country.”

Is that her cis-gender hair she just lopped off as part of “coming out?”

“that i don’t have an answer for, guess my point to Morgana was you can have short hair and still look feminine and not like a dyke which to me is more than just the hair “

Dude I was a punk rocker. “Feminine” was not the word for it but neither was “dyke”. More like “something from your last nightmare”.

“And ladies, I am bringing my 13 yr old special needs boy in the women’s with me. Deal with it. He won’t harm you and I can’t leave him outside. (He almost never has to pee but I do so I take him in with me to keep him safe because he doesn’t speak and he is very passive. He is a perv’s dream. )”

Your 13 year old special needs child is not likely to hold his cell phone under or above the stall next to him and take pictures.

If he does however you better under stand I will have a problem with both him and you. He may be “special” but he do so something like that to me and I promise you I will ram his cell phone up his special butt.

Normal men and women who realize they are normal men and women.
Meant to slap a label on normal people and differentiate “transgender” as crossing gender that normal people are privileged for not having to do.

It is like the homosexuals going to all the different businesses looking for one that denies service to sue.

Conversely, when I reported severe sexual harassment by a transgender (mentally ill man) in the women’s bathroom at work, the HR department said it was a spat between two women, have a coming to Jesus meeting to work it out.

Thanks for the pic. She has that: waiting-to-be-victimized look about her.

I have “long flowing locks” but when on the Harley, they’re wadded up into a bun and the rest of me looks like a leather fetish extra from Mad Max.

I wonder how many women I’ve freaked out and not known it?

:D

What is "cisgender"?

Opposite of transgender. Cis- means same-side. Trans- means across.

I used to go to Zurich on business long ago

The Swiss bankers were great lunch companions and hosts but you never saw them outside work hours

The French and Italian sides were more relaxed but still a bit stifling compared to Marseilles or Rome
