http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/05/walmart-bathroom-aimee-toms-transgender
A video posted by a Connecticut woman named Aimee Toms is making headlines, after she says a stranger verbally attacked her inside a Walmart bathroom on Friday after mistaking her for being transgender.
Toms, who identifies as cisgendera term for people who identify with the sex they were assigned at birthsaid she was washing her hands, when the woman called her "disgusting" and attempted to order her out of bathroom, the Connecticut Post reports.
Confused by the sudden harsh words directed at her, Toms insisted that in fact she did belong there.
"At first I was like, 'Does she think I work in a different store and I shouldn't be in this bathroom?'" Toms explains in the video. "So I said 'Yes, I do.'"

The craziness. The lunacy. The utter madness!!!
Now we see the end game of all this. If one wants to see where this ends, here it is. However, blow it up by multitudes.
Like the last words spoken in the film The Bridge Over the River Kwai, "Madness!"

with concealed carry and stand your ground, and someones going to die.
Fight or flight? There's no flight in a restroom.
It's just a matter of time.
