I’ve wondered if any all of these incidents are staged, and done purposely to gain sympathy .

There, fixed it.

I'd wager that they all are. And I'd also wager that the sympathy motive is only part of the equation, the other part being the $$ motive. Victim! I'm a victim! You owe me free money!

From the article: Belcher told NBC4 that the security guard told him: “You guys cannot keep coming in here and using our women’s restroom." I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to use a grocery store restroom while shopping--in my entire adult lifetime. Yet, for this grocery store, it's "You guys, (plural) Keep...Coming. In. Here." In other words, the provocateurs are frequenting the place for the express purpose of "using" the restroom.

A very tiny fraction of the population even claims to be transgender. Divide that fractional number by the likelihood percentage of actual need to use a restroom at the precise time they're grocery shopping. That particular grocery store--even in Freak Central DC--should be seeing maybe three men a year, tops, wanting to use the women's restroom.

“I’ve wondered if any of these incidents are staged, and done purposely to gain sympathy .”

Oh. no doubt.

The inevitable lawsuits and subsequent judgements will have the same chilling - and silencing - effect it did on everything else the homosexuals targeted.

Unless the sane world delivers some major and sustained pushback.
