Excerpt: According to LaBarbera, a longtime foe of gay rights, the
NGLCC recommends companies should "permit the
[transsexual/cross-dressing] transitioning employee to use restrooms
that correspond to his or her full-time gender presentation,
regardless of where the individual is in the transitioning process."

"In other words, if a 'transgender man' or, say, employee at a
McDonald's believes his supposed 'gender' is really a woman, so he
wears a dress and high heels, he should be able to use the female
restroom. That surely would do wonders for the productivity and
workplace environment of female employees and customers at a small
business, including all those local McDonald's franchises!"
LaBarbera said.
