Update: Metro PD confirmed to The Daily Caller that they are treating the incident as a “suspected hate crime.”
A female security guard working at a Washington, D.C. grocery store was arrested Monday afternoon for physically escorting a man out of the women’s restroom after he refused to leave because he identifies as a woman.
The shopper — a young, African-American male who identified himself as Ebony Belcher to local news outlets — reportedly passed the security guard on his way into the women’s restroom at a Giant grocery store in Northeast D.C.
After seeing Belcher walk into the women’s restroom, the security guard followed him in and ordered the man to leave. When he refused, the security guard had to physically escort him out of the women’s restroom.
Upon leaving the store, Belcher called police to have the security guard arrested. D.C. police confirmed to NBC4 Washington that the woman was arrested and charged with simple assault. D.C. police told TheDC that they are treating the incident as a “suspected hate crime.”
Belcher told NBC4 that the security guard told him: “You guys cannot keep coming in here and using our women’s restroom. They did not pass the law yet.”
He told WJLA that he believed “the woman had no reason to put her hands on me,” adding that he was emotionally traumatized by the incident. “I’m hurt by this. It’s terrible… I’m distraught,” he said. “People should not be discriminated based on their gender identity.”
At least one woman was grateful for the security guard’s actions. Shopper Deana Chisholm told WJLA: “If you was born a man go to the men’s bathroom. You got a penis go to the men’s bathroom. If you are born a woman go to the woman’s bathroom. Period!”
Remember when we were told that "hate crime" legislation was needed for egregious cases like Matthew Sheppard or James Byrd where racial bias was clear and stated or written and an extreme example was needed to break hate groups like the KKK and the skinheads?
hah hah hah, oh that was a rich one!
Kicking a guy out of the ladies’ room is a “hate crime”? Good grief.
Washington DC... This kind of stunt shakes the Gay Money Tree...
It’s about the money.
Now every heterosexual pervert obsessive can claim to really be a woman and get away with this !%$#!$!
Who is going to ask the question that is begged? Prove you are a WomanID and not a hetero fakir!
I always asked myself that question when they arrested pro-lifers for trying to stop Baby’s from being killed.Doesn’t make any sense.
DC is among the metro areas with the highest proportion of LGBTABCDEFG...XYZ types in the country.....Hell, yeah. Just watch CSPAN.
How is that? Blacks generally detest ...uh....LGBT, and DC is absolutely full of blacks!
I’ve wondered if any of these incidents are staged, and done purposely to gain sympathy .
Demand a jury trial. If convicted, appeal. Make this idiocy so costly to the fascists that they run and hide ... in the correct bathroom.
And, more than ever, do everything you can to avoid public restrooms!
BTW, I guess George Michael would now be exonerated and held up as a champion of sexual rights!
where is Charles Bronson-Death Wish when you need him?
Tranny thrown out of D.C. store looks like Michelle Obama!

This reads like a satire piece.
My gosh, this is just bizarre!
I predict that within a few years, every women’s and men’s washroom in all public areas will be demolished and replaced with a row of single unit ones (each with just a toilet). Urinals will disappear. Sinks may be in a common area. And since there is an opportunity to be behind closed doors, this will be the place where perverts gather.
Conversely, it might be time to buy stock in Kimberly-Clark or other companies who specialize in diapers for adults. Who would dare go near the washroom anymore?
It is.
Wonder if the "victim" wasn't pre lawyered up.
So did the resident ask him/her to the white house for a beer summit??
