As the article details, it is worse than the headline. MALE cops went into the women's bathroom. So the action when thinking there is a man in the women's bathroom is to make sure there are TWO?? Just proves how nonsensical the supposed "reasons" for this whole distateful business are. I am glad the woman in question is fighting it.

And what the hell is this with sending guys in?!
