ROME (Reuters) - Which bathroom should a “transgender” politician be using in parliament?
The thorny question rocked Italy’s lower house, home to Europe’s first transvestite MP, on Friday.
“You can’t use this lavatory. This is the women’s bathroom,” Vladimir Luxuria reported being told by centre-right lawmaker Elisabetta Gardini on Friday, triggering a spat that forced the speaker of parliament to intervene.
Born male, Luxuria wears women’s clothes but has not had sex-change surgery. Elected for the centre-left in April, the 40-year-old former drag queen and defender of gay rights prefers to be called “she”.
It is not the first time Luxuria has clashed with the centre right. Alessandra Mussolini, grand-daughter of Italy’s wartime fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, was once asked by Luxuria on television whether she wanted to lock up homosexuals.
“Better a fascist than a faggot,” Mussolini snapped.

When you take into account the correlations between vindictive potty training, an hysterical sense of propriety and fascism, it becomes slightly more important as news. The poor dears are working through their issues. It’s too bad Vladimir has to bear the brunt of it.
