There are people who when they see something that does not fit their notion of propriety will make a complaint. Bathroom door says women, I am a woman, the rest room is for women like me, end of discussion. You look like a man, you don't look like a woman, this place is for women like me, I am going to file a complaint. End of story. You don't belong. What's you say there a Federal Law which says that you can be here. What law, I don't see one posted. You don't belong here. I am going to the manager. If the manager holds that the complaintent is always right, the manager calls the police and files a criminal complaint. If the police officer who arrives always agrees with the manager, the police officer takes the manager's complaint and halls you off to the police station. You say there's a Federal Law that says you can be in the Woman's rest room. Let the feds enforces it, its not the law in this jurisdiction. You are arrested and have to hire a lawyer to defend your rights and spend lots and lots of money. All of this happens because you were not what one woman considered a woman and down the line everyone felt obligated to agree with her because she made a complaint. Many times this is how things happen. The farther you go up the legal chain the less likely they will ever admit a mistake even if they drop the charges and wipe the whole incident from your record. But every time after you have to file a job application and you come to the question, "Have you ever been arrested for ...?" You will pause and wince and check . . . !
Every time I go into the women's rest room and every time I go into the men's restroom that are not one seaters, this kind of scenario goes through my head because I do not look like some men's idea of a man. Some man may bellow, " There's a woman in the men's room. I am going to complain with the same results as above.
