A transgender woman was banned from a western Idaho grocery store after customers complained she used the women's restroom, police in Lewiston said.
Alberto Robledo, 25, of Lewiston, identifies herself as female and goes by Ally. She was leaving a Rosauers store in Lewiston late on April 8 when police officers gave her paperwork informing her that she had a "no trespassing" order against her for using the women's restroom.
"They pretty much just came up and said, 'OK, you're not allowed at our store anymore,'" Robledo told the Lewiston Tribune.
Police Capt. Roger Lanier said some customers complained about a man using the women's restroom.
"The store employees didn't want any further problems, and they chose to exercise their right to trespass this individual from the business," Lanier told KLEW-TV. "Anyone who owns or controls their property can make that decision."
Robledo said she has used the women's restroom at the store on previous occasions without any problems because she looks and dresses like a woman.
According to the National Center for Lesbian Rights, 13 states, including Washington, protect transgender people from discrimination in public accommodations, but the definition of a "public accommodation" differs from state to state.

Okay, I may have been a tad harsh on you. You're not wrong to condemn the sex pests and the weirdos of them. Purely for their actions, though.
Would you agree that lots of transsexuals are just normal people (aside from the obvious) who would never do stuff like this?

I dont know if lots of them are "normal". What counts as normal? Calling your penis a female sex organ is not rational. Blaming women for the fact that men kill transwomen isnt rational either.

We've been down this road before. Conclusion was:
- not all transsexuals are sex offenders. And it's quite simple to distinguish a legit person with GID and a sex pest
- Family bathrooms (I think that's what then were called) would be an ideal solution that would satisfy all parties.

You can look at their histories. Generally their family, and perhaps doctor,s will be able vouch, whereas a sex pest who decides to dress up as a woman and demand access to a female bathroom won't have this.

So would they have to carry non sex pests cards? What kind of history? That they like to wear dresses? Would their computers be checked? If their families disagreed, would they be declared sex pests?
Either way, if you have a penis, you dont belong in the womens room.

Yes. But I'm disturbed by your attitude towards transsexuals. You make negative, sweeping generalisations about them despite being very progressive and forward-thinking in most other areas.

I thought we were talking about family bathrooms now? I've agreed with you that it's probably best if they don't go into other bathrooms, as they'd probably put themselves into danger by doing so. It's really just a shitty situation for them (no pun intended).

I see how they act/their biggest "leaders" act. If they actually cared about women, they would fight for family restrooms, instead of trying to force their way into the facilities for women. Because once you let transwomen in, you would have to let all males in.

We are talking about both. They dont just get to go into the womens bathroom, because no family bathroom exists. That isnt how it works. They arent trying to push for their own bathrooms, that is the issue.

There we go again. "They". The obnoxious ones are not representative of all of them. I've seen transexuals who are very mild-mannered and respectful who just want to live as the other gender.
It's wrong to take negative stereotypes and apply it to all of them.
And what the self-declared "leaders" say is entirely irrelevant.
@409,703 (kook !!32zdfdzi+)
Yes, they should be pushing for family bathrooms. Obviously, forcing their way in is not the solution.

Vote in what? Jesus christ, you're being so irrational right now. GID is a disorder. Not an organised group. The only link is the disorder itself. A person with GID is free to not campaign for bathroom rights and to not agree with what any prominent (loud) transsexual says.
Feminists don't necessarily have leaders either. Sure, feminist organisations do, but a woman can desire gender equality but be free to disagree with any feminist figurehead. Also, transsexuals are even less organised than feminists, as GID is a brain abnormality and not a political movement/ideal.
I wouldn't know how to find accounts of "moderate" transexuals disagreeing with the extreme ones. Of course, this must mean that they don't exist and are all extremists.

And that still doesn't prove much about them as a whole. There's "enough support" for eugenics to be happening, but they do not represent all geneticists. Not by a long damn shot.

You can't discourage it. Again, they cannot help it. It'll be there regardless of whether it's encouraged or not.

The problem is, that they are encouraged to have surgeries without any psychological intervention. The US did away with waiting periods, so many regret it later. I find that to be very cruel.

It isn't always a clear-cut thing, sadly. Yes, there should be a brief waiting period and some sort of assessment to see if it's what they truly want.

Why brief? Its a life changing surgery that many regret and can never be taken back. Also, it has not been found to lower instances of suicide in transgendered people, because there are other mental issues that are ignored.

I figured that many of them might feel very eager to begin transitioning, but you also have a point. Maybe like a month or so? Enough time to establish if that's what they really want to do.
