My impression of Helena as a child

Having the piss taken out of you…

Here’s the thing, when you have to go, you just have to go, and if you happen to be a woman trapped in a man’s body, you should feel free to use either male or female toilets to relieve yourself.

But, if you are a person currently in transition from man to woman you had better not try to use the female conveniences in New Yorks Grand Central Terminal.

70-year old Helena Stone claims a male transit police officer caught her trying to use the female facility and arrested her. In fact, Helena has been arrested three times in the last six month for using the woman’s restroom, the last time the arresting officer saying, “If I ever see you in the women's bathroom, I'm going to arrest you." He also called her “a freak, a weirdo and the ugliest woman in the world!”

These are pretty savage comments made to a person undergoing a major change of life. The Transit Police Department has apologised to Helena for the officer’s behaviour stating it should never happen again.
