"....here come the lawyers"

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.”

So genders are isomers?
There are some women, even if wearing a dress and high heels, that might be mistaken for a man dressing as a woman. This is the problem with this bathroom policing stuff. Who is going to check and how?
I don’t know how to get past this problem.
What people are witnessing is a social revolution in that those that were outcasts(criminals, perverts etc.)and those who did not even belong to white Western European Society(i.e. blacks and Asians, etc.) are now elevated into positions of authority. Naturally such people will seek to impose their “greatest goods”upon the rest of us-(who are moving into the status of conquered people.)
This girl goes out of her way to have a boyish or mannish appearance

Photo needed to determine “Cisgender”.
I don’t know how to get past this problem.
Correct. Actually comes from chemistry terms relating to the shape of organic compound isomers.
I am mystified too. I have had very short hair (think Judith Dench style) for 25yrs. I have only ever gotten compliments and/or requests for the name of my hair stylist.
I have never been called names or been mistaken for a man. I also live in levis and t-shirts.
Lots of people jumping on the victim wagon.
Eeek!
““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 know a lot of people who have done this. They’ve never once had this problem however.
I know a lot of women who have very short hair and have never been called what she said she was called in the bathroom at walmart.
Personally I think this whole thing is another hoax.
Sure, if you believe that excuse.
"Cisgender" means you identify with the gender you were born as and you are sexually attracted to the opposite sex.
It is what we used to call "normal" but we can't say "normal" anymore because this implies that everyone else is abnormal.
Ain't newspeak fun!
“It is what we used to call “normal” but we can’t say “normal” anymore because this implies that everyone else is abnormal.”
Okay thank you!! Still there is something NOT NORMAL about her.
Of course she is.
Dollars to donuts this event never happened.
A hip transgender activist who shops at Walmart? And she just happened to use the restroom at the same time as another woman who is at the opposite end of the political spectrum and who is in your face confrontational?
Please. This is faker than fake.
Walmart? Um . . . This is a dog licks its own walnuts story.
