I hope the message gets heard...... the media always brings negative attention all groups, now it's the transgender group........ thank you for sharing this well needed message.

A good story which I naturally presume is true and I think a sad reflection on how people look upon others who are different in any way. I think it is sad that the church people could not accept this fact, but I am afraid that they are sometimes the worst.

    It is true and I did experience it. People are who they are and they all have their story. That is why we write.

The story that you told was a good one, but I think it might have been improved by doing more to bring the reader into the atmosphere by describing the sounds, smells as well as the sights in the restaurant. The actual confrontation was a bit of a disappointment after the build up to it, so perhaps tell a bit more about the reactions to it? I'd like to know about people's expressions, comments and so on.

I agree with you as to your final statements, but I think the point you were trying to make gets a bit lost and could do with reinforcing. Linking the story into your position at the end would strengthen it.

How wonderfully, gloriously refreshing, and very well written, as well -- no fancy trimmings, just straight-forward honesty and realism. It is a much-needed breath of fresh air. Thank you. I do hope you win the contest, although I suspect you won't -- for the worst possible reasons.

Bravo, I am glad that you were brave enough to write this story. I was in the Navy for 24 years and when we were in port in China both men and women used the same bathroom and I didn't really care.

    So many countries are laughing at us now. The United States believe it has to be two distinct bathrooms. Uni sex bathrooms have been around for years. You simply monitor you children or grand chidren and make sure they are safe. O h heavens

they have stalls that say unisex so why not use your own caution when you have children to be with them when using the bathroom, common sense tells people always be on the safe side od everything in life it can happen anywhere not just the bathroom. do not let your children wander off alone.

    Of course. Just take care of your children. Nothing is different now. It's just they have someone new to blame. Thank you for your review.

Hmm, interesting story, and told from only one perspective, but that is your choice. You POV came over well and you used safe and PC-approved characters as the bad people, so there would be no backlash. A well made perspective. This should do well in the contest.

    this story is actually true. I remember it well. I liked both groups of people i just didn't like how one group judged the other. But as you said . we all have our POV

This gave me chills when I read it! I believe God has blessed you in your life due to your kindness -- not just to the men, but also toward the church group. You were an example to them, and a very good example I might add, as to what it means to be a good Christian. Excellent read, thank you!

one typo:
He took tw0 steps <-- you have a zero instead of an "o"

BRAVO,BRAVO for you! They are people and they are who they are. I am gay and even I didn't always understand transgender people, but I research it and listened and learned. No one wants to be a transgender but it must be very difficult living inside the wrong body.

    Yes, I remember this table so well. They had to go against family and sometimes friends just to be as they were. Thank you for the review. They enriched my life.
