Would you want this trans person in your partner's public restroom?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/this-trans-woman-asks-you-really-want-me-in-the-same-bathroom-as-your-husband_563b997fe4b0411d3070003a?cps=gravity_2442_2383465435666361762

One trans woman in Chicago, Illinois, is making a bold, tongue-in-cheek statement in response to Houston, Texas, voters striking down proposed legislation this week that would extend nondiscrimination protections to the LGBT community, including enabling trans people to use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity.

Kelly Lauren, a transgender woman who has performed as a drag entertainer for 37 years, shared the following photo on her Facebook account Wednesday with the caption "Houston, do you REALLY want me in the same restroom as your husband or boyfriend?"

...

"All I have to say is that I would get in way more trouble in the men's room than I could ever possibly in the women's restroom because I am THAT kind of girl!"

When I am using the bathroom.

I really dislike public bathrooms. Lol

I normally always use stalls, just so I can have a bit of privacy.

She has her hands on top of a urinal and that plaid guy is touching the wall. I hope they follow proper hand washing procedures to avoid gross bathroom germs.

But I think it would matter to the type of bigots who freak out over transgender people.
