"Even cisgender people aren't safe from the transphobic mania over bathrooms.

A Connecticut woman, who sports a pixie haircut, says she was harassed in a Walmart restroom by a woman who apparently mistook her as transgender.

After posting a Facebook video about the incident, Aimee Toms said she's been threatened by internet trolls and called a "lesbian" and "whore."

"People have irrational fears, I'd like for them to know this simply isn't something to be so angry about," Toms, 22, told the Daily News."

The anti side is tremendously alienating the entire populace.  That will work in our favor in the long run as long as one of us doesn't do something dumb and make the headlines.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker

I suspect many women will be hassled but their stories won't become terribly visible. I hope I'm wrong.
