Stop the presses! Italian members of parliament (MPs) have called for the creation of “transgender” toilets in their government office building(s)! MP Elisabetta Gardini, a “former showgirl,” got upset when she ran in another MP, the transgender Vladimir Luxuria, in the bathroom. LOL. What’s the world coming to? From the BBC:

An Italian opposition MP and former showgirl has expressed outrage after meeting a transgender colleague in the parliament’s ladies’ toilets.

Elisabetta Gardini, spokeswoman for former PM Silvio Berlusconi’s party, said she felt ill after the encounter during a break in Friday’s session.

The incident led to heated debate about which toilet the transgender MP, known as Vladimir Luxuria, could use.

Ms Luxuria says she has been using ladies’ toilets for years.

Using the men’s would have created even bigger problems, she said.

The matter has now been passed to parliamentary procedural officials to resolve.

Ms Gardini said she had been horrified to find Ms Luxuria in the toilets.

“It never entered my mind that I’d find him in there”, she said. “It felt like sexual violence - I really felt ill.”

Centre-right MPs backed her call for the creation of a third “transgender” toilet, Reuters news agency said.
