Lesbian ejected
from restroom for being too butch

A lesbian who was ejected from the women's restroom at a Greenwich Village restaurant for looking too masculine is suing the establishment. Khadijah Farmer, joined by her girlfriend and two others, went to dinner after the pride march on June 24. While she was using the bathroom at the Caliente Cab Company, a bouncer burst in and banged on her stall door after a customer complained that a man was in the women's bathroom.

She was later escorted to her table and told to leave by the bouncer, the Associated Press reports.

The Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund has taken her case and is demanding that the restaurant staff train its staff not to discriminate on the basis of gender identity and expression. (The Advocate)
