Turns out the male in the women's bathroom was the security guard, instead.
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.
Pretty sure inclusion training is now illegal in the US
"For gender nonconforming, lesbians, women in general, being harassed in public restrooms is a tale as old as time. I do think the surge in national anti-trans rhetoric is contributing to an increased policing of women's bodies and their expression of gender," Selvaggio said.
And yet, terfs will blame trans folks for this trend, instead of the anti-trans culture they themselves contribute to.
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.
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.
Yeah and (at least in this case) if he's a security guard, he just walks right on in!
GUARD: SHOW ME YOUR PUSSY!
GIRL: No, get out of the girl’s bathroom. I’m calling the police.
GUARD: then… PROVE YOUR GENDER?
That security guard should be fired.
Arrested for violating the woman's civil rights.
We should all misgender every MAGAt male who enters the men’s bathroom. And tell them that pussies are not allowed in there.
God forbid you take a shit in the vicinity of someone with different genitalia. The entire bathroom debacle is straight up childish.
So Tomboys and Butch women are illegal now, got it.
why not just rip the bandaid off and start saying only blonde white women are good, you've got Vince McMahon's wife in the inner circle afterall..
Carry pepper spray, end these interrogations as quickly as they begin.
If someone confronts you in a hateful way about your gender like this, maybe you suddenly become afraid for your safety (valid!) and spray them in the face with pepper spray.
When people ask what happens say you became afraid the stranger was trying to hurt you and put your body under threat because they were.
i knew a person that was misgendered, and was questioned by AA person why she went into the womans bathroom because she was wearing a shoes and some clothes that men wear.
Texas security guard on a grayhound: ma'am, are you pregnant or a fat guy?
Guy: Dude, its a bus! Everyone goes in the same toilet when its a bus! Wanna see my pee pee?
