TikToker Who Identifies As A Transgender Woman Gets Confronted By Neighbor For Using Women’s Restroom: ‘Everyone Knows I’m Trans & Use She/Her Pronouns For Years’
Kaelie hopped on TikTok and said, “Well this is just lovely. I had a neighbor confront me for using the public women’s restroom. I’ve lived here for four and a half years, everyone should know that I’m a trans woman. I’ve always been known as Kaelie. I’ve always used she/her pronouns.”
Kaelie went on to explain why she needed to use the restroom that day. “I’ve been having some stomach issues because of Trulicity and I had to use the bathroom real quick .. and they’re single use bathrooms, and it’s the only place that I feel safe using the women’s bathroom.”

Kaelie continued, “Well, I got done and got out and this neighbor was talking to another neighbor and started pointing out the sign, and I knew exactly what she was talking about, because there’s a big old woman sign and I’m like, ‘Is there a problem?,’ and she’s like, ‘Yeah, you’re using the women’s restroom, and you’re a man,’ and I said, ‘I’m a transgender woman,’ and she’s like, ‘No, you’re a man.’ And she kept saying that over and over.
And then she kept saying, ‘You’re not a she, you’re a he. You shouldn’t be using—you were born a man.’ And just over and over, and honestly, I just lost it, and just started screaming and swearing—I just couldn’t handle it. This is my home. This is my safe place. I should be able to use the restroom that—the apartment managers know I’m trans. Everyone knows my name is Kaelie.
And then my group of friends, who I thought [were] my friends, were all starting to yell at me, saying I escalated, and because she had two kids … I didn’t even see the kids. They were there and I just lost it. Fight, flight or freeze, and I fought. You don’t know what it’s like to be a trans person.”
The TikToker added, “And then my one friend started yelling at me and none of [them] stood up for me. They blamed me … that I was the one that was at fault, when none of them stood up [for] me, when this person kept calling me, ‘He, she, he, man.’
Like, [it’s] triggering and awful. I deal with enough on here. Like my apartment should be [a] safe place, and there’s nothing safe for a trans person. There’s nothing safe for a trans person. This is the life, and it f**king sucks. And even when you have your friends who don’t have your back.”
