LINKIn Lucy's case, the bathroom door wasn't necessarily the issue. It was the reaction of the people standing outside the bathroom that created the negative scene—one that quickly elevated. Lucy, a transgendered female and Santa Cruz resident, was walking out of a bathroom at the Catalyst nightclub when a drunken man accosted her.
Lucy thinks it might have her height that made her stand out, or perhaps her large hands, but whatever the reason, after leaving the ladies room the man started screaming in her face, "You're a man! You're a man!"
The scene quickly escalated when Lucy confronted the man about his comments. The man's girlfriend had to pull him away, as she apologized to Lucy and dragged him out of the nightclub. The staff at the Catalyst did nothing. In fact, they told Lucy, "You can go outside and call a cop, but you can't use our phone."
