Texas trans woman arrested for using female toilet



A trans woman in Houston, Texas, has been arrested after using a female toilet in a library.
Tyjanae Moore was arrested by police last Wednesday for “knowingly entering a restroom of the opposite sex” but trans groups say her arrest was unlawful.
Ms Moore said she told police she was in the process of transitioning.
She pleaded guilty to using an opposite gender restroom and was given credit for the two nights she spent in jail.
Speaking to Fox News, Ms Moore said: “I felt so belittled going to a jail over something so simple and stupid.
“When I came out, the female [officer] told me I wasn’t supposed to be and I asked if there was any particular reason why not. She said I’m a transgendered female and I was really shocked that they even stopped me for this.”
Trans groups say her arrest was unlawful because a city ordinance passed by Houston this year allows trans people to use the toilets which correspond to their new sex.
The ordinance says: “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly and intentionally enter any public restroom designated for the exclusive use of the sex opposite to such person’s sex without the permission of the owner, tenant, manager, lessee or other person in charge of the premises, in a manner calculated to cause a disturbance.
Cristan Williams, executive director of the Transgender Foundation of America, which is based in Houston, said: “The arrest should have never happened.
“The City of Houston has given this victim explicit permission to use a restroom consistent with their gender.
“This means that the library patron was acting in a manner consistent with both state and local law. Since she broke no law, this is a case of unlawful arrest and imprisonment.”

H-town, Let My People Pee!

Once again I have to write another one of these stories in which some cisgender person starts tripping because a transperson has to use the bathroom and they have a problem with it..

26 year old Tyjanae Moore was at the downtown Houston Public Library location November 17 when she had to use the restroom. After handling her business she emerged and was confronted by a female security officer backed up by an HPD officer she gotten involved in the situation by telling him there was a 'man' in the women's restroom. .

Moore was subsequently arrested by the po-po for using the fracking bathroom appropriate to her gender presentation.

It seems that since I've left the home state, the GOP controlled Lege had nothing better to do and passed a law that [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]states[/COLOR][/COLOR] it's against the law to 'enter the bathroom of the opposite gender without permission of the owner of the building'.

Well, the owner of this building is the City of Houston.


In the meantime, local homohater Dave Welch is 'scurred' to debate Cristan Williams one on one on this issue, probably because she pwned his behind the last time they tangled over the Araguz case..
Mayor Parker earlier this year issued Executive Orders 1-8 and 1-20 which expanded Houston's anti-discrimination ordinances and give trans city employees and citizens permission to use the bathroom of their choice appropriate to their gender presentation.

Of course the local Fox Noise affiliate had to come up with another of their ridiculous poll questions that I need y'all to vote on . Our right wing haters are in full throat about it wanting Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to rule on the legality of Mayor Parker's executive orders.

David Welch is afraid to debate me again just because I moped the floor with him during our last FOX debate! Since he wouldn't debate me, I went on the radio to tell folks about it.

Who is David Welch? David Welch is the Executive Director of a local hate group that calls itself the "Houston Area Pastoral Council". He's also Founding Executive Director of Christian Coalition of Washington, the National Field Director of Christian Coalition, the Executive Director of Vision America and perhaps most importantly, he wets himself when he thinks about debating me.

David Welch is the Executive Director of a Houston-based hate group that calls itself the "Houston Area Pastoral Council" is an extreme right-wing fundamentalist. He's also Founding Executive Director of Christian Coalition of Washington, the National Field Director of Christian Coalition, the Executive Director of Vision America and more importantly, Welch he backed out of a live FOX news debate with me.

Since I moped the floor with him the last time we debated on live television, I was really looking forward to another debate - except he backed out. The night be backed out I went on live radio to let everyone know that he didn't want to debate me. Afterwards, dave-welch.com was created.

Today, I finally got hold of him and challenged him to another debate. He agreed and this is my proof. I'm expecting him to behave a lot like NephilimFree and self-sabotage a debate, but I'm going to do everything I can do to have another chance to trounce his bigoted ideology



About That Fox Poll
Originally published at Cheryl's Mewsings. Please leave any comments there.
Earlier today I tweeted about a poll on Fox News that asked, “Would you be bothered by a transgendered person being in a public restroom with you?”. Neil Gaiman kindly re-tweeted it, as a result of which I think we handily crashed the poll and I got my handle RT’d all over the place.
Some people asked me questions about the poll, which I will try to address here.
The reason the poll exists is because of this story. Tyjanae Moore, a trans woman living in Houston, was arrested and jailed for using the ladies’ restroom because, in the opinion of the arresting officer, she was “really” a man. This is despite the city’s non-discrimination ordinance covering gender identity enacted earlier this year. The story was covered on the local Fox affiliate, hence the poll.
I’m not sure why the link to the poll was anonymized, but I’m guessing that it was done to enable trans people to vote without risking being tracked by people working for Fox. I got the story from a trans activist in London, and I suspect she got it from Monica Roberts, who is a native of Houston.
Some people also asked what the heck this is all about. For the benefit of those of you who don’t follow US news, the American right currently has its knickers well and truly in a twist over the “dangers” of trans people in bathrooms. Remember, as far as “Christian” fundamentalists are concerned, a trans woman is “really” a man, and a trans man is “really” a woman. So the Forces of Idiocy want to require people like this to use the men’s restroom:

Can you guess why fine, upstanding “Christian” men want the likes of Miss Addams (above) in their toilet? I can. And I don’t think it is anything to do with “protecting” women.
Of course is they are going to be consistent the same should apply the other way around. Are there hordes of concerned “Christians” demanding that people like this use the women’s toilet?

No, of course not. Funny how they have these double standards, isn’t it.
Update: Shortly after I went to bed I got a tweet telling me that the poll had closed. When Monica first tweeted about it Yes was at over 44%. When the poll closed it was down to 16%. Thank you, everyone!

'Everyone sat there and watched me get hurt': Victim of McDonald's beating speaks out as fast-food giant goes into damage control



The victim of a sustained attack in a Baltimore County McDonald's has spoken for the first time about the beating she received, and how nobody came to her aid.
Chrissy Lee Polis, a 22-year-old transgender woman, said she was afraid to go outside after the attack, and hinted that it might have been racially motivated - as both of her attackers were black.
She said: 'They just hurt me really bad, and I'm afraid to go outside now because of stuff like this.'

She said the violence kicked off after she had used the ladies restrooms in the McDonald's outlet, but denied reports that this was the reason why the violence erupted.
She said of her attackers: 'They just seemed like they wanted to pick a fight that night.'
She said she was approached by one of the girls, who accused her of 'looking at my man'.
When Miss Polis insisted that she was not even aware of the girl's partner, the physical abuse began with the girl spitting in her face.
She said: 'She started ripping my hair, throwing me on the floor, kicking me in my face.
'I got up and tried to hit the girl. I had her in a corner, to try to get her off me, and the other girl came up and started kicking me in my face, punching me in my nose, rippping my earring out of my earlobes.'
Miss Polis said there was no way to escape the attack, adding: ' Every time I tried to walk away they followed me.'
And, in what will cause major embarrassment to McDonald's and its 'family restaurant' image, Miss Polis said staff not only allowed the abuse to continue, one employee - identified as Vernon Hackett from images and comment he put online - filmed the incident.
The footage, which was put online, has attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers

Just curious... What exactly is the benefit of recruiting people to skew the results of this poll, particularly as it decides nothing anyway? I mean, I could see if this would settle the "bathroom debate" one way or the other, but as it doesn't... What's the point?

"she was afraid to go outside after the attack, and hinted that it might have been racially motivated... She said the violence kicked off after she had used the ladies restrooms in the McDonald's outlet, but denied reports that this was the reason why the violence erupted."

Note how the quote from the victim perfectly contradicts the title of this thread.

In Baltimore they never file hate crime charges against black thugs. I doubt very much they will do in this case either, even with the national outrage I doubt there will be hate crime charges files. It would surprise me if they did.

Here's something ironic,,,, history has strange ways of being made and wouldn't it strange if this tgirl became the Rosa Parks of the transgender,, for wanting to use the bathroom of her choice and these others tried to deny her that right,,, If this is so, then the black girls and their watchers in the crowd will be playing the part of the klan. Ironic.

Lisa, just curious, is the Canadian PM Stephen Harper good for the LGBT community, as it were???????

Join the Klan already with your bullshit, Lisa. I'm sure you'll come to understand black people are the least of your problems just before Bubba puts a bullet in your brain. Or do you think the fact you consider yourself a white woman will save you?

Excellent reactionary thinking from a pea-brained idiot. Now I know why you piss in your own face, and thank you for it. Saves me the time and travel expense.
