Now 40 years old, he recalled the instance grown up when he left his dad in a grocery store to use the restroom. As he attempted to enter the women's room, a clerk reprimanded him and told Scholinski to let him speak with his dad.
"The clerk said, 'We found your son in the women's bathroom.'" he said.
He said he hasn't used a women's restroom in eight or nine years, since one in Memphis was closed and he was forced to use the mens room. He said most people don't realize how privileged they are to not have to consider those kinds of simple details in their daily lives.
He also spoke out against violence towards transgendered people.
"I've never been found out in a bathroom," he said. "There's a good

Catherine Cowan, Topeka resident, was joined by her girlfriend Ana Maldonado, Topeka resident, at the lecture. The couple said they drove to the lecture after hearing about it from a friend who attends the University.
"I've read about things like this but it was interesting to hear it from a person firsthand," Cowan said.
The lecture was part of the 2007 February Sisters Forum.

Paranjothi said he wasn't interested in making annual donations to influence his points total.
"I haven't really followed it because I know I won't ever donate enough to make a difference," he said. "I just don't see myself donating thousands of dollars to get seats in Allen Fieldhouse."
The football season ticket package includes seven games at Memorial Stadium, as well as the layhawks home game against Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium.

Beatles near end of iTunes boycott
BY JORDAN ROBERTSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — For the third time in nearly three decades, iPod maker Apple Inc. has resolved a bitter trademark dispute with The Beatles' guardian Apple Corps Ltd. over use of the iconic apple logo and name.
But while the truce announced Monday appeared to finally bury the long-simmering animosity, music lovers will still need to wait for the right to buy such songs as "Love Me Do" or "Hey Jude" on Apple Inc's iTunes online store.
The announcement — made jointly by one of the world's largest music sellers and one of history's most beloved bands — was silent on whether the catalog of Beatles songs will become available for download any time soon.
The Beatles have so far been the most prominent holdout from iTunes and other online music services, and Apple's overtures to put the music online have been stymed by the ongoing litigation.
The settlement gives Cupertino-based Apple Inc, ownership of the name and logo in return for agreeing to license some of those trademarks back to London-based Apple Corps — guardian of The
Beatles' commercial interests — to their continued use.
It ends the ongoing trademark lawsuit between the two companies, with each side paying its own legal costs.
Industry analysts said a resolution on putting The Beatles' music online is likely already in the works.
"It goes from impossible to a lock that it's going to happen — it's a function of time at this point," said Gene Munster, senior research analyst with investment bank Piper laffray & Co. "I bet they move pretty fast. For Apple, it was critical that they got this taken care of."
It's no secret that Steve Jobs
Apple tiers chief executive officer and a huge Beatles fan — has wanted the British band's music on iTunes.
Jobs even cued up some Beatles music and album art in unveiling the company's highly anticipated iPhone gadget at the Macworld Conference and Expo last month, setting off rampant speculation that some type of deal might be in the works.
However, decades of legal disputes between the two companies have thus far made any partnership all but impossible.

"We love the Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks," jobs said in a statement. "It feels great to resolve this in a positive manner, and in a way that should remove the potential of further disagree-ments in the future."
