after a bouncer - who believed she was a man - saw her in the ladies' bathroom, the woman charged yesterday.
Khadijah Farmer said she felt humiliated by her experience at Caliente Cab Co. on Seventh Ave., Sunday shortly after the city's gay pride march.

No one, including the trans community, seems to get upset when this sort of thing happens to “a real tranny”. It’s simply accepted that the trans community has no right to use a public toilet in this country. Yet when someone else is treated this way, it warrants both mention and a photo in the New York Daily News, and a law suet.
What if anything is this article saying about the transgender and/or the LGBT community as a whole’s acceptance of this?
Khadijah Farmer said she felt humiliated by her experience yet the trans community just seems to accept this sort of thing as day-to-day normal.
