Title: Amusement Park. restroom.
Post by: koolstacy on June 14, 2010, 09:36:10 AM
A few months ago me and my friend used the lady's room at a Northern California amusement park,  we was asked by a park. Employee to see our Id's this was before I knew we could change our gender marker on our Id. So I told him asking for Id because we used the female restroom is Illegal. He gets on his radio and calls security which askede us to leave. today I got a call from my attorney telling me the park settled. $xxx,xxx.xx Of couse they are not admitting fault.  (LOL) but they did learn a expensive lesson.

Had to pay attorney $58,327.50.

My advise is never let anyone mess with your legal rights.

I am going to start a non profit to help "Transgenders" I say that in a loving and kind way.

That is an amazing settlement.  Very, very unusual, I might ad. Your attorney did an absolutely mind boggling job on this.

I am happy with the outcome.  the first few offers was a joke. One thing I did have on my side was time and I was not strapped for cash. 2 important factors for me not to just "good away" its a plus being well connected with Hollywood.
