    Wait wait wait… So a man barges into a women’s bathroom to pull out a woman just to make sure there are no men in there

    My mind is stuck in an endless logic loop

        The Liberty Hotel initially defended the guard’s actions in a now-retracted statement, claiming “several guests alerted security about two adults occupying a single bathroom stall” and asserting that a physical altercation occurred. Baker and Victor denied those claims outright.

        “If that’s what he thought the issue was once he opened the stall door, obviously there was only one person in there, so it should’ve been case closed,” Victor said. “Let her tie up her shorts and go about her day.”

        So the guard actually opened the stall door while she was still using the toilet, found a woman in there, and then stuck around to demand ID to prove she was a woman? What a weird thing to do.

          I remember back years and years ago conservatives who regularly used unisex bathrooms losing their shit over gender neutral bathrooms because women were afraid of men entering the bathroom at the same time and forcing open stall doors to take a peek.

          And here we are except it was those petrified conservatives doing the forcing and peeking. Guess they were afraid of themselves.

            Guess they were afraid of themselves.

            That seems to drive a whole lot of right-wing attitudes. “Everyone is like me, therefore everyone is scary and dangerous.” But without the self-awareness.

        Oh yes, you’re right. What’s at play is plain anti trans discrimination pushed by a government wanting to distract the populace from looking while they rob the state blind

            Yea, they complained about multiple people in a stall which is typically legitimately weird behavior and then Paul Blart, mall TERF took it on himself to be a bigot for reasons completely unrelated to customer complaints.
