The owner of a popular Omaha nightspot started a firestorm on Facebook this week when he suggested transgender women should not use the women’s restroom unless they have had their “appendage” removed and their state identification changed.

The comments by Jake Gardner, co-owner of The Hive, were widely shared. Some attacked them as intolerant, while others supported them.

Gardner said he regrets the appendage part of his statement but stands by what he described as safety concerns in allowing expanded access to the women’s restroom. The Hive is expanding its bathroom setup to include a unisex facility, a step in the works long before Gardner typed his statement into his smartphone.

“I thought I was posting to my friends, and it just went viral,” he said.
