A transgender woman says she was kicked out of a Giant bathroom by a security guard. News4's Jackie Bensen spoke with the woman who said her privacy was invaded.
D.C. police have charged a security guard at a Giant grocery store with simple assault after a transgender woman said the guard forced her out of the women's restroom.
Ebony Belcher, 32, said she went to the Giant in northeast D.C. with a friend to pick up a delivery from the Western Union.
While at the Giant, she asked a store employee to point her to the restroom and passed a female security officer standing in the hallway.
The officer came into the restroom and told her to get out, according to Belcher.
"She opened the door and came in and started calling me derogatory names," Belcher said.
She said the officer put her hand on her shoulder and arm, grabbed her and pushed her out of the store.
Belcher said the guard told her, "You guys cannot keep coming in here and using our women's restroom. They did not pass the law yet."
She said she called police and reported the incident after she left the store. According to a police report, officers arrested the guard at the Giant after the confrontation.
D.C. Police arrested a security guard at a Giant in Northeast Wednesday. Sources tell News4 the guard is accused of assaulting a transgender woman who wanted to use the women's restroom. News4's Jackie Bensen reports.
Belcher said she suffers from Parkinson's disease and almost fell while the officer was shoving her. The guard, who has not been identified, is a special police officer at a Giant store near Third and H streets in northeast D.C.
NYC Ad Agencies Engage in War of the Post-It Notes Giant issued a statement, which read: "As this matter involves a third party that provides security services for Giant and there's an ongoing criminal investigation, all inquiries related to the incident at the H Street Giant should be directed to the local police for a comment at this time."
President Obama recently issued a directive to public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.
A controversial law in North Carolina has also brought the issue to the forefront. The law says transgender people must use public bathrooms, showers and changing rooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. The Justice Department has sued North Carolina, saying the law violates civil rights laws.
And the Transgender “activist” is Jabba the Hut wearing a curly blonde wig. How do these “news” reporters keep a straight face?
It’s well past that time.
This was a “transgender” woman. I assume that means it’s a drag queen?
From the guard’s response, according to “it”, “they’ve” been doing it a lot. Sounds like some “its” trying to make a point and stir up trouble.
As my wife says “Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t.”
Michelle’s siste?
Good grief, the reporter for the story, Jackie Jensen, looks like a man to me.
Penis in a dress.
Does that help?
The word “transgender” is incorrect. He still has what he was given down there. He’s a drag queen who wants men but knows a man will realize it’s a “he” and might knock the you know what out of him in a men’s room
He might have wanted to shave again before the picture was taken
Jackie Bensen, damned autocorrect.
Agreed. There is no such thing as a "transgender", no one can ever transform or change gender. No amount of hormones, surgery or toenail polish can change your chromosomes. An XY will never became a XX.
The easiest way is to remember that trans = fake.
Transwoman = fake woman
Transman = fake man.
The “transgender woman” in today’s featured bathroom story is actually a man.
Has a crazy resemblance to FLOTUS.
My first thought.
Not even really weird mutilation of the body can change your chromosomes. Chopping some guy's penis off, carving out a fake vagina, and installing breast implants doesn't make him a woman. It makes him a mutilated man. Cutting off a woman's breasts, removing her ovaries and other internal genitalia, and building up a fake penis on her doesn't make her a man. It makes her a mutilated woman.
An XY will never became a XX.
WHY, JUST WHY, now I need some Megyn Kelly eye bleach.
With those nasty teeth, IT picked an appropriate name.
Why does the news continue to call him a “she” or a “her”????
It is a MAN dressed like a woman...Nothing more....
What are the odds?
