Today's New York Daily News reports that men who live as women are now allowed to use New York Transit System restrooms for women.
A group called the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund filed a complaint against the MTA on behalf of a 70-year-old Verizon technician, born Henry McGuinness, but who now pees as Helena Stone.
Some MTA riders were wary that predators might dress as women to take advantage of the new ruling. The MTA said that commuters were free to use bathrooms
The brouhaha and eventual ruling, which resulted in the restitution of $2,000 in legal fees for McGuinesss/Stone, diverts attention from the real problem, which is that only deviants use public toilets in New York City.
