''(The ruling) declared open season for any guy who wants to throw on a dress and go look at women in the washroom,'' Winkler complained. dailynews.yahoo.com VICTORIA, British Columbia (Reuters) - A British Columbia club that caters to homosexual men and lesbians may appeal an order to pay C$2,000 to a transsexual who was barred from using the women's restroom before completing a sex change. The province's Human Rights Tribunal ruled on Tuesday that B.J.'s Lounge in Victoria discriminated against Tawney Sheridan when it barred Sheridan from the restroom after receiving complaints from female customers. Sheridan was legally a man and awaiting the sex-change operation when the incident occurred 1995. Sheridan, who brought the issue to the human rights panel, has since received female genitalia and is living with her new husband in Oregon. ''Transsexuals in transition who are living members of the desired sex should be considered to be members of that sex,'' a tribunal adjudicator ruled. The adjudicator also said the club failed to prove that transsexuals' use of the women's washroom would ''interfere with the maintenance of public decency'' or cause female patrons ''undue hardship.'' Club owner Bruce Winkler had not decided if he will appeal the decision but said the lounge did not receive a fair hearing. ''(The ruling) declared open season for any guy who wants to throw on a dress and go look at women in the washroom,'' Winkler complained. Sheridan praised the ruling and said she had always expected to win. ''I didn't really expect any other result because B.C. is so accepting of different lifestyles,'' Sheridan said.
