Feeling the sting of a very specific kind of hatred just one time was enough for Aimee Toms to lose her cool.

The 22-year-old Connecticut woman delivered a scathing condemnation to transphobic Americans after she says she was accosted in a women's Walmart bathroom after apparently being mistaken as transgender.

Toms, who said her pixie haircut was covered by a baseball cap at the time, claims she was washing her hands inside of the Danbury store Friday when a woman approached her saying, “you are not supposed to be here, you need to leave.”

“At first, I was like, does she think that I work at a different store and I shouldn’t be in this bathroom?” she recalled in an eight-minute video posted to Facebook. “So I said, 'yes I do.' And then she flipped me off and she’s like, 'you’re disgusting' and she storms out."

Facebook Aimee Toms says she was washing her hands in a Walmart bathroom when a fellow female customer told her to get out.

Toms said it took her a moment to register exactly what she had just experienced. Then it dawned on her, with transgender-friendly bathrooms being a national hot topic after North Carolina made it illegal for individuals to use restrooms that don’t match the gender they were assigned at birth. The Obama administration has since filed a lawsuit against the state and its law, which it has called “state-sponsored discrimination.”

“I can get why at first glance she would mistake me as transgender,” Toms said, while noting her short hair, which she said she recently chopped off to donate to cancer patients. “But I turned around and I looked at her, and at the sake of sounding blunt, I am not a flat chested person. I’ve got something going on up here."

Toms said experiencing this kind of disgust and discrimination once was enough for her. She mused, “I cannot fathom the discrimination transgender people must face in a lifetime.”

Facebook The 22-year-old woman, who said she chopped off her hair to benefit cancer patients, is seen wearing the baseball cap that she says she wore at the store.

She said she hopes that her story will add further dialog to how “amazingly ridiculous this is becoming as an issue.”

“These people are who they are and they’re not going to change themselves to make you feel comfortable,” she said. She went on to express her belief that most Americans have shared a bathroom with a transgender individual without knowing it.

It's only now, with North Carolina's passing of the HB2 law, that she believes people have generated irrational fears of being attacked by someone who's abusing transgender bathroom rights.

As of Tuesday, Toms' video has been viewed more than 43,000 times and has generated dozens of comments, most appearing to offer support.

Speaking to the New York Daily News, she said some internet trolls have since threatened her. They've also called her a "lesbian" and a "whore."

Requests for comment from Toms and Walmart were not immediately returned to the Huffington Post Tuesday.

Update: The following statement was sent to The Huffington Post by Making Change at Walmart, the national campaign to change Walmart into a more responsible employer, and UFCW OUTreach, a constituency group dedicated to building mutual support between the UFCW’s International, regions, and locals and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community:

“Across the country, stores are proudly showing their support for the transgender community by either providing unisex bathrooms or by publicly announcing that transgender people are free to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity. Yet, Walmart has not followed suit. Their silence is not only callous, it is dangerous.

It allows bigotry, like the incident in Connecticut, to get a free pass. As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart has a responsibility to make sure all customers and employees, no matter their race, sex, religion, sexuality or gender identity, feel welcome and safe in their stores.”
