Suited up for the TdF!

I guess I can hijack my own thread, yeah?

I used to get called "sir" all the time when I had spiked hair. (um, yeah... hourglass figure, pink shirt, big dangly earrings = "sir")

I can't lay claim to pink shirts or dangly earrings, but I do have a set of D-cup knockers that can't by a long shot be mistaken for man tits. Still, a cursory glance at my hair gets me filed in the "sir" column often enough. I guess it's better than "ma'am."

(I got called "sir" at REI bike dept last year. And I had a pink bandana on my hair girl-style! I was so traumatized that I went upstairs to the women's clothing dept and ranted on the first female salesclerk I found. She apologized on behalf of REI. She was much cooler than I was...)

A lesbian recently filed suit against a restaurant that ejected her from its ladies' room for appearing too butch. A customer had gone into hysterics when she saw her in there and complained to the management, at which time a (male) employee went barging in, pounded on her stall door, and physically removed her from the restroom, even after he ascertained she was in fact female. The really disturbing part of this story: The restaurant is in NYC, Greenwich Village to be exact, and the incident happened during gay pride weekend.
