The arrest of three transgendered clients of Sylvia's Place, a shelter for homeless LGBT youth, for using a Port Authority women's room will be protested at a demonstration outside the bus terminal on Eighth Avenue at 41st Street on Wednesday, October 25 at noon.
[...]
"One of the cops, an Officer Robles, said to them, 'I wouldn't want my wife in here with you things,'" Barnhart said.
[...]
Robles is said to have told the arrestees, "There is no law that allows men to be in the women's bathroom. If there is, teach me." He then turned to someone in the precinct and said, "You're supposed to be the trans issues guy, do you know anything about a bathroom law protecting these freaks?" The reply he got was, "It's pretty dicey."
