THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — Johnson County, Iowa, has reached an agreement with a trans woman after their sheriff’s department booted out of a courthouse women’s restroom. The settlement included cash and the sheriff’s department will have to undergo training.
The Iowa Civil Rights Commission pushed for a settlement after finding probable cause that a Johnson County sheriff deputy violated an Iowa state law. The trans woman, Jodie Jones, filed a complaint with the civil rights commission following the incident.
The Sheriff’s Office admits to the mistake, but still insists it was just a poor decision by a good cop who was responding to a complaint about a ‘man in the women’s room’ at the county courthouse.
Lambda Legal’s Dru Levasseur:
“Equal access to public restrooms for transgender people is a national issue that needs greater public awareness . . .
Violence and harassment are very real concerns for transgender people and confrontations in bathrooms can lead to unsafe situations.”

That’s good, but when are idiots in this country going to realize that trans girls are not men in dresses?
It’ll be a while I’m afraid.
