Cross-dresser Vows to Guard His/Her Rights

WYANDOTTE, Mich., Feb. 21 (UPI)

A male race car engine builder in Michigan who lives as a woman has vowed to fight for the right to open a club for similar cross-dressers. City officials in Wyandotte, Mich., rejected Janet Law’s plans to add a cross-dressing club for men to the back of her machine shop, and Law has promised a lawsuit, the Detroit News said. Law says he endured a smear campaign from area residents after he began planning to add the club to his National Engine Machine shop, and now plans to file a discrimination suit against the city. I lead a clean, moral life and have no criminal background, said Law, whose property already acts as a cross-dressing supply store. Why am I stigmatized as a person who doesn’t have family values just because I live as a woman? City officials said plans for the club were not rejected due to its cross-dressing nature, but rather due to a lack of appropriate parking.

    Cross dresser, I think is probably the wrong term for Janet. In my opinion, she would actually be a Transsexual, not a Crossdresser. I am TS and find it insulting when I am called a Crossdresser. If this is the label ze chooses on zir own, then thats ok.
