One of the most preposterous cases in the field of so-called human rights law in recent years has quietly evaporated into the ether, leaving a relieved but nevertheless injured victim.

The victim is John Fulton, owner of the Downtown Health Club for Women in St. Catharines, Ont. In 2006, an individual dressed as a woman visited the club and applied for membership. The person then told Fulton, "I'm really a guy" — a man planning to have a sex-change operation.

This was an obvious set up.

It can only serve to discredit and make life difficult for genuine transgender people.

The failure of the TG community to address this essential issue, both in changing rooms and toilets is more likely to be our downfall than any fundimentalist could ever engineer.
