ResumoIn 2009, a police officer stopped me after I, a white transgender man, used a single-stall men's bathroom in a Whole Foods in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.The officer told me that he "should" arrest me for using the men's room.When I explained to him that I identify as male, he informed me that if he arrested me, I would have to "get a note from [my] surgeon, saying that [I am] whatever the hell [I] say [I am]."Though I was ultimately not arrested, the incident left me shaken and disturbed.
