Transgender woman in England told to use disabled bathroom
A transgender woman who regularly goes to the stadium in Poole, UK, was recently told to use the bathroom for disabled people following a complaint. From Pink News:
Victoria Saxe-Coburg, 55, was watching a speedway event between Poole Pirates and Wolverhampton Wolves on June 8th when security staff told her in front of other fans that there had been a complaint about her. She was told that another spectator had complained about her using the women’s toilets and was told to use the disabled facility instead. Ms Saxe-Coburg, who transitioned 20 years ago and has been a speedway fan for 40 years, said she burst into tears. “I felt humiliated,” she told the Bournemouth Echo. “There were quite a few people nearby. I always stand in exactly the same place. I felt so humiliated and angry that I felt as if I had to go to the opposite side of the stadium.]]>
