      Yes! So many female friends of mine with short hair have been challenged, sometimes really aggressively, in toilets and told to get out…

        I don’t even have short hair, I’m just big. I’ve been confronted in bathrooms too. Even had a man follow me into the women’s bathroom shouting that I was in the wrong one.

        It’s crazy.

            At least I am an adult, and can handle it. This poor little girl is only 9 years old! And it didn’t happen in a private bathroom, it happened to her in front of her classmates and an entire audience watching her track meet!
