Young Woman Harassed In WalMart For Appearing Transgendered
If you think discrimination against transgender people has nothing to do with you, think again. A very brave young woman named Aimee Toms was washing her hands in a WalMart ladies' room when another customer flipped her off and called her 'disgusting.' Why? Because she appeared to be transgendered.
Aimee had cut her hair short because she donated her long hair -- for the third time -- to a wig program for cancer patients.
Note: her video contains swear words. Mine would, too.
This video had been viewed over 12,000 times by Sunday night. Aimee's local paper in Danbury Connecticut covered her courageous stand:
Toms believes the incident happened because of the national controversy sparked by a law that was passed in North Carolina attempting to force transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they were identified as at birth. Since then, religious conservatives have launched a boycott of Walmart competitor Target, which has said transgender people are welcome to use its bathrooms freely. Nationally, Walmart has been silent on the issue.
