So now we can be anything we "believe"?
The insane and perverted among us have held onto that belief ever since it became possible to surgically manipulate the body of a living human being. It is possible to cut and slice, rearrange and sew, and so the belief is that 'this makes me a woman!" despite all of the DNA screaming the contrary (or, in the case of some, lisping the contrary).
By this 'logic' I believe that I am incredibly wealthy and so because it is technically possible to electronically transfer funds, I will demand that the State and Federal Governments immediately transfer ten billion dollars into the stoat checking account.
I feel terribly sad for the ladies of New York who will now be even more terrified than usual. of 'their' transit system, and of the unspeakable evil that lurks within.
OK, let's not blow this totally out of proportion. The unspeakable evil here is the usual operating conditions of your average MTA restroom, which is not fit for use by man, woman, or anything in between.
Having said that, I don't get what the brouhaha is about. No rational person should believe there is any real safety in a public restroom in a NYC subway station. Whether the other occupants of the restroom are genetic or wanna-be females, you need to keep a close watch on your person and belongings. Remember, this isn't the restroom at your central-Kansas family restaurant where you chat with your girlfriends about, as one previous post mentioned, "female problems". This is a vile disgusting facility where no respectable woman should be spending time, anyway. I'm not sure if anyone who wants to use these restrooms should be rewarded for their bravery or condemned for their stupidity, but worrying about which room someone is going in is irrelevant.
