hi could you put me to the ladies room
yeah sure it's just right over there
thanks so much sorry I just overheard
are you looking for the women's bathroom
yes I found it Thanks
oh no I I know you might feel like
you're a woman but you're obviously a
man you can't go in there it's happening
across the country lawmakers deciding
whether transgender Americans should be
allowed to use the restrooms designated
for the gender they identify with if the
Justice is choosing not to take up a
challenge to a pennsylvania school
districts policy on transgender students
and if it's discrimination when they're
forced to do otherwise
today in this restaurant this mother has
her mind clearly made up I had a young
lady here it's not right for you to be
in there while she is men should use the
men's bathroom if you witness someone
demanding that a trans woman used the
men's bathroom but I am a woman but you
could think what you want but we all
know you're a man what would you do
joining us on the set today is jazz
Jennings in 2007 jazz at the age of six
sat down for a groundbreaking interview
with her own barbara walters on 20/20
tell me about this picture
why is Delta Pokal crying she wants to
wear the dress to school it's a little
girl you since then
jazz has worked to accelerate acceptance
for the transgender community even
starring in her own show on TLC I am
jazz
where she brings her personal issues
into the national spotlight I wasn't
allowed to use the girls bathroom about
my elementary school I had to use the
nurses room
costing kids were vomiting everything
we're at the Randolph diner in Randolph
New Jersey where Nadia our transgender
actress has a very simple question sorry
ladies room the ladies room the ladies
room is just right over there okay thank
you so much but our mom at a nearby
table wait I'm sorry you asked for the
women's bathroom sees this as a problem
yeah yeah now is that a joke or
something
excuse me well you think you're a woman
right you're really a man you should be
using a men's bathroom this is crazy my
stomach is like not so you know I'm just
getting started this group is tuned in I
mean if you guys want to go in first
no that's not the point I know anybody
who would be comfortable with that does
that seem realistic yes men should go in
the men's bathroom I mean he defends
Nadia I'm sorry what did you say while
his friend makes her way out of the
booth she's wrong with her she walks
with her all the way to the ladies room
thank you and when she returns excuse me
why did you do that I don't feel
comfortable her using women's back right
I'm a fisherman I
she feels comfortable using bathroom
light she's not hurt everyone I think
that's interesting because most people
use Christianity against it against and
she's saying no Christian Christianity
says you have to love everyone what
she's transgender that's fine they have
to go to the bathroom too so it's just a
matter of safety it's just not right I
disagree it's just a bathroom
well what message is this to my daughter
everybody pees I knew I liked the green
haired girl that's really
with that we go we decide to introduce
ourselves hi guys
how are you it's what would you do you
got involved
tell us why cuz we just rolled was
discriminatory and I felt like it was
even regardless of that it was hurting
someone's feelings you were very kind
and gentle you didn't condemn her
because everyone even as everyone needs
to be accepted in some way what makes
you this way well I mean I'm a Christian
I just try to love people as much as I
can you know jazz Jennings I do well
guess what so as you may know I'm
transgender myself so seeing you stick
up for this woman over here was just
incredible to me and what you said
specifically that you just need to love
everyone and that's what that religion
is all about I really really appreciated
that and I appreciate all of you so nice
to meet you all as our mom continues to
voice her opinion you're a man you
should be using the men's room not the
ladies room and more customers share
their own feelings this man
supports Nadia but he's got a different
idea of what might be best it's really
better you know
and this woman I don't think it's safe
and I don't think it's right throws her
hands up in disagreement now this man
seems to notice what's going on it's
obvious you're not a woman and I
wouldn't want my daughter in the
bathroom Vicki I'm sorry as our daughter
asks her mom to use that bathroom just a
minute just a minute we wonder what he's
thinking let's see if she needs to go
I'm sorry I'm not gonna send her in
there if there's a chance you're going
in there okay I'm just gonna go to the
bathroom first
and then I leave as soon as Nadia leaves
he opens up thank Obama he's a little
made possible what do you mean they
could use it if they can do that yeah do
you agree with that I don't you don't
have time to find out more we're delving
into a real serious issue you know
that's very controversial I I don't
think it's correct
I think Obama was over that created that
problem we mentioned that I think if
you're a woman you're a woman you should
do some women's restroom but you were
gonna confront no no no sure that we
wait to do what she wants but I mean the
law I think allows them to use the
women's restroom I feel uncomfortable
you know especially since our
granddaughters body posture we're back
at it with jazz Jennings whose activism
in the trans community started when she
was very young so remember this your
interview with Barbara are you a boy or
a girl I am definitely a girl our hidden
cameras are still rolling at the diner
where we've been capturing reaction
she's very on both sides do you agree
with that I don't of the transgender
bathroom debate you're taking this group
of people and saying you're not allowed
to do something that other people are
allowed to do just because they identify
a different way now jazz is about to
join our actresses in the scene getting
miked up right now about to go into the
scene myself she's playing Nadia's
friend I mean you're obviously a man why
would you be going to the women's
bathroom our mom's question quickly
captures these women's attention jazz
say she's a woman she's not a man she's
a woman yeah I just need to use the
bathroom if you want to go in first and
go ahead of me that's fine like I don't
even know if I want my daughter in there
she doesn't agree with Diana's approach
but she does seem to agree with her
views I
I'm just not comfortable with I'm not
comfortable with him good but as our mom
continues her campaign you keep calling
him a shoe look at him she gets more and
more steadfast in her approach she is a
woman I'm gonna take my daughter than
later when our mom and daughter leave
Nadia thanks them for their support hey
thank you guys so much I mean I know you
don't have to agree I really appreciate
and just as we're about to tell them our
little secret oh yeah we better come out
well I was gonna say I am jazz yes she's
really helped me for my transition
beautiful well we've been busted
it's what would you do and this is jazz
Jennings tell us why you spoke up I can
tell you I'm a minority so I know how it
is to Chatham and you're not coming I'm
the only african-american a black woman
in a restaurant and they looking at me
like I was from up in here still
something you know so you can relate
shouldn't make a difference I don't
think I should make a difference I've
really done you know cuz I'm a Christian
and I know what I believe but I would
never hurt anybody's feelings because I
thought that was very rude the world is
changing and I think we have to accept
it thank you so much as we roll one last
time jazz is back behind the scenes I'm
sorry I overheard you asking for the
women's bathroom yeah I found that
things and this group is settling in for
lunch I mean shouldn't you be in the
men's bathroom not the women's bathroom
no I'm a woman that makes no sense why
you would go to a woman's bathroom it's
disgusting
at first he seems to take issue with her
tactic what do you mean my daughter here
son take her to the bathroom real quick
Jimmy and they could be seen about it
why are you
I think what he's doing isn't right how
is anything wrong why don't you go to
the women's bathroom because I don't now
he attacks the accuracy of her
allegations all right he is not why are
you young people defending all of this
do you agree with him well I don't know
honey it's not affecting me well you're
not a woman I am and I might darling you
don't know I am you're just assuming I
am you don't know what time to say hello
we want to see what you guys would do
you jumped in right away yes yes I did
why because especially in a public place
like that it just wasn't right there's a
woman named jazz Jennings who their own
TV show she's our expert today she was
really impressed would you say hello
nice to meet you all three you just see
you guys stick up for this woman over
here was so incredible to me I'm really
just restored my faith in humanity
because not everyone had the same
reaction as you guys thank you for
accepting and appreciating people for
who they are for Nadia and jazz
situations like our scene are their
everyday reality
it's hard being trans in this world not
everyone agrees with it but I feel like
it makes us stronger and allows us to be
more confident in ourselves I didn't
even know what trench and there was
until I was 14 and I saw Jazz's video it
was like yeah yeah yeah you were it was
like you were really young and I saw it
and that's how I learned what being
trans was and then I slowly like I am a
woman you know and it was people like
jazz who really helped me realize like
this is who I
