Somebody at the BBC deserves a cookie for this one.

Transgender MP in toilet fracas

Pity, though: I had hoped it was a British MP. Turns out the story hails from Italy.

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.

Initial response:  I want a transcript! (Update: and lo, the wonderful has given us one. Hilarious. Thank you, Anna!)

Secondary response:  I think Signora Gardini needs to grow herself a skin. (Or follow Silvio's example and go have some work done on the one she's got.)

Well, if each person in the building had their own loo, that'd work. But otherwise, let everyone go to all the loos.
