NORFOLK -- "I go up there. I drink a couple Cokes. I read a newspaper. I pretty much keep to myself," says Laura Rae Bush of her trips to Club 60, Inc. in West Ocean View. "I've been using the ladies' restroom."

What sound like simple visits to the bathroom are, in fact, a little more complicated.

Bush is a transgender female who, for most of her life, went by the name Larry.

the bathroom issue notwithstanding, as a veteran and as a transwoman i have no desire to go to the VFW or similar places. as i have been a pizza deliverer in the past, i have been in many such places, so i know how they are, and it seems a very strange place to be. heck, as a man i wouldn't want to be there, but that might largely be based on age, as it's mostly old people there. as an older veteran, though, i imagine that you really stand out if you're trans.
