    While bathroom bills are explicitly aimed at trans folk, generally it’s the non-gender conforming cis crowd that actually gets challenged IRL. Which isn’t a bug, but a feature to control and enforce two clean arbitrary distinctions. Almost always some poor butch lesbian being accosted by the gender police and told to pee safely they need some makeup.

    There is more to being a man than a tie, and more to being a woman than a dress. Humand are infinitely more complex than those old strict boundaries. This sort of attack is just a impotent attempt to force back the 1920’e statud quo.

      Also forces women to conform to gender norms. No pixie cuts, no hairy armpits. Those will get you picked up by the cultural police.

    From the article:

    On Tuesday morning, The Liberty Hotel said it has finished an investigation into the incident and “the security officer is being suspended from their position.” It said all staff are being retrained “on inclusive practices and guest interaction protocols.” The hotel is also making a donation to a local LGBTQ+ organization.

          This shit happened in my state. I am low key tempted to figure out who that is, book a trip to Boston coinciding with that dipshit’s return to service, and aggressively “transvestigate” their nasal cavity with pepper spray before I give their teeth an exclusive meet and greet with a curb.

        The Hotel suspended the asshole guard and is doing a bunch of things to try to make amends and you want to punish them?

        Edit: and they are doing all of his in an America lead by an administration that is actively trying to punish any company or organization that even whispers inclusivity or acknowledges LGBTQ+ people and causes.

    Disappointed but not surprised that the sexual assailant in this article has not been charged with anything yet, let alone sexual assault…

    Calling someone a creep for not matching your gender appearance expectations, as at least one of the women in line for the bathroom did to this lady, is also arguably sexual harassment. But nobody’s going to bring any consequences against the woman that did that. Typical cis woman weaponizing false victimhood and then disappearing into the background with zero consequences and possibly zero self reflection.

    God forbid you take a shit in the vicinity of someone with different genitalia. The entire bathroom debacle is straight up childish.

      Good god, imagine them even looking different! At a certain point, I don’t even care about the genitals, I just don’t think women should be allowed to cut their hair or wear jeans or shoes (/s I don’t even know what I’m channeling at this point)

        You’re probably channeling the type of Americans who don’t travel outside of their own country or if they do they only ever hang out in a Starbucks at the airport cuz anything non American scares them too much.

      Yup, the terfs in line couldn’t imagine a woman exists who didn’t look like their version of a woman to them since she didn’t follow every trend of what “being a woman” should look like based on social media, most likely.

      Baker was born a woman and identifies as a woman. But, she said she was escorted out of the restroom and then comments were directed at her from other women waiting in line.

      “Someone said, ‘Get him out of here,’ referring to me. ‘He’s a creep,’ also referring to me,” Baker said.

        Look at yourselves, making up a story you want to hear and then running wild with that narrative??

        There’s no indication at all that “radical feminists” are involved, and if there was, they’d probably be supporting the poor woman kicked out of the loo

    We should all misgender every MAGAt male who enters the men’s bathroom. And tell them that pussies are not allowed in there.

    History has shown us that if a man wants to go into a women’s bathroom to harass or assault women, he doesn’t usually get all disguised to do it.

    GUARD: SHOW ME YOUR PUSSY!

    GIRL: No, get out of the girl’s bathroom. I’m calling the police.

    GUARD: then… PROVE YOUR GENDER?
