A New York City restaurant has settled a lawsuit brought against it by a lesbian who says she was ejected because a bouncer thought she was a man in the ladies' room.
Caliente Cab Company, while denying the allegations, agreed to pay Khadijah (kah-DEE'-jah) Farmer $35,000 and train its staff to be sensitive to gender identity issues.
Farmer says she's happy with the outcome, saying it "does send a positive message."
She says she was humiliated last year when she and her party were thrown out of the restaurant after the annual Gay Pride parade.
Farmer, who wears her hair close-cropped and favors khakis and man-tailored shirts, says she has no intention of changing her look. http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8318466

I guess if you think that its a man in the ladies rest room you better not throw her out or you will also get sued. Should you ask if the person is male or female? You might not like the reaction of some you ask. It is confusing these days to tell the difference between a man or woman. How many times have you set there wondering?
