Catherine Newman, the blogger at the Ben & Birdy blog has written an open letter to a man who chased her son (Ben) out of the men's restroom because the man apparently couldn't identify Ben as a boy. Allegedly believing Ben was a girl, the man felt that it was therefore appropriate to scream at him. And then he felt it necessary to chase after the child and locate "its" mother to scream at her as well.
Because that is how we handle these things in this country. Well, not "we," actually...a transperson would never behave that poorly in a public restroom.
I should point out that Catherine's son is not transgender…just a boy with long hair.
I don't have a lot to add to the mother's open letter, which is shared on the other side of maze.
