New York Metropolitan Transit Authority Opens Transexual Washrooms

Well the article explains itself.

In order to settle a discrimination lawsuit which was brought upon by transsexual men in October, the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority decided to open all of its restrooms on the basis of individuals' "gender expression," meaning that, for example, any man dressed seriously as a woman could choose the ladies' room. And the New York City government is currently considering adopting a rule to permit people to switch genders on their birth certificates, regardless of whether they have had a se change surgery or not, as long as they've lived in the new gender for two years and a physician and a mental-health counselor approve.
