​Two weeks after a transgendered woman tried to use the restroom in a city building, she and the city seem still to be recovering.

A security guard at the downtown municipal library told police it was a man dressed in women's clothes that he saw entering the women's restroom. When police arrived, though, Tyjanae Moore said she wasn't a man, and wasn't exactly a woman either.

As HPD spokesman John Cannon told Hair Balls, the suspect explained that she was kind of in between -- a man on his way to becoming a woman, who needed to use the restroom. Since the library didn't have a restroom for people like her, she had chosen the ladies to avoid getting beaten up in the men's.
