Let’s just go to all gender bathrooms with highly private stalls like every other civilized country
We already are in my city, it's really nice to see.
If anyone questions actual trans women, they should say they were only in the women's washroom to look for other males.
Not so keen on your use of "other" here.
The terms "male" and "female" refer to sex while "man" and "woman" refer to gender. A trans woman is male by definition.
I think in this context it's to make a joke about the male hotel guard going into the women's bathroom to check for "other males"
Yes, I wasn't sure, but it doesn't quite come across right.
I hope she sues them. It’s the only way these shitty companies will learn.
I wish she maced him.
Are ya feeling safer, fellow women?
The worst part is they suspended him versus firing his creepy ass.
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 women in the bathroom complained so there is more than this guard at play
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
Where does the article say that?
“ 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.”
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.
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.
You don't have bathrooms in your room in a hotel?
I realize now that I haven't been in a hotel many time in my life
Hotels also tend to have banquet rooms, which means they have public restrooms for banquet attendees.
There are also public restrooms.
