The line for the girls' room just got longer.

Men who live as women can now legally use women's rest rooms in New York's transit system under an unprecedented deal revealed yesterday.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to allow riders to use MTA rest rooms "consistent with their gender expression," the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced yesterday.

The group filed a complaint against the MTA on behalf of a 70-year-old telephone repair technician who was arrested for using the women's room at Grand Central Terminal.

The technician, who is assigned to the terminal by Verizon, was born Henry McGuinness but now goes by Helena Stone.

"I'm a 24-hour woman," Stone declared proudly. "I just feel like a woman and I like to wear women's clothes."

The MTA would not comment on the settlement but Stone's lawyer said it also includes mandatory transgender sensitivity training for MTA employees and a $2,000 payment to the technician for legal fees.

For most transgendered guys you would not even realize that it was a male. I don't see why it is even an issue. You have a little stall to yourself in the bathroom anyway.

Romans 1: 18-32. It is like the old song used to say, "They're here, they're there, they are everywhere. Those %3@8&%$#@ are coming out of the walls." Direct quote. The lawyers are the ones getting rich. Hey! How about babes being able to use the men's rooms? Watching a gal try to use a urinal could be fun. Except for Hillary Rottwheiler Clinton. She probably has an easier job of it than Slick Willie.
