according to az central, anderson’s fifth estate night club has settled the ongoing dispute with scottsdale’s most famous transwoman, michele de lafreniere. i’m glad they were able to come to an agreement.
i remember last year, this dispute resulted in the now infamous cartoon image originally posted in the phoenix new times in penile proportions:
i’ll have to stop by the now infamous nightclub at some point. of course, i’ll be sure to choose the appropriate restroom should the need arise. perhaps i can avoid that whole issue by drinking less than my usual fair.
i particularly enjoyed the comment left by mrmom on the az central piece:
A veritable cornucopia of sideways transbashing!
And the resolution? Ick.

i’m very much torn over the bathroom issue. frankly, i’d like to see gender-free public restrooms become the norm in our society. i don’t think that will happen in my lifetime though.
and yeah, stay away from the comments in those articles. toxic waste for sure.

If we’re going to have men’s rooms and women’s rooms, trans women need to be able to use women’s rooms and trans men need to be able to use men’s rooms.
The only situation in which it is okay for trans people to use a unisex restroom is if everyone is using them. I’m just plain tired of restroom panic.

This was posted on a local Trans community website by one of the principles in the dispute. I’m not sure it is over:
“There is a two month trial period to see if
this arrangement works out. We will try to encourage our people to use the unisex restroom. So, his unisex restroom is not the equivalent of a “trans-room”.
However, if people go in there, this is a situation where it is critical that people be good ambassadors to the transgender community.”

i have to wonder to whom the “our people” refer.
