This is bad. But what really struck me was that a hotel had a guard? Do you have guards EVERYWHERE?

In the US? Only if there's money.
Guards are only to protect assets not people. When I used to Metro in the Pentagon you would see four or five armed guards with m4s and body armor protecting the carts of the money for the Metro machines. They could give two shits about anyone else.

Just start denying any male who don't look like a bodybuilder in the mens room pretty sure then stuff would get figured out.
Anybody remember those SNL skits where a character named Pat was not clearly male or female, and the whole joke was how everyone was just confused about how to address them but still ended up being polite and friendly? I don't understand how our culture got from there to people demanding proof of gender from strangers.
Fascism.
i love movies like that, too, but it definitely wasn't popular when it was released. and pat was always the butt of the joke. i also have to check my "but we cured racism in the 90s" indoctrination sometimes. fresh prince made me think things were a lot better than they really were back then.
It's Pat, the movie, was a notorious commercial bomb, and sold basically no tickets.
It was made, though, because the recurring SNL sketch was popular enough to attract the investment.
The second statement is true, and yet hyperbolic. That was the same time that they made the Coneheads movie, another bomb about SNL characters that had not been on screen in like 20 years. And like five other bombs on the same model.

Yeah, I was a kid when SNL was still airing those skits and they didn’t feel enlightened to me at all. Like, this is the same show that “joked” that Brandon Teena (who was already known to be murdered at that point) deserved to die for reporting his rape. Like, not as a shocking thing a heel would say, just a crass joke. It was hilarious to people then, that’s the environment It’s Pat is in.
The 90s were fucked up, y’all.

So, why is it OK for guard man to go inside if there might be a man in there? Does this not double the number of men in the bathroom? I don't understand bigot logic. The women joining in like that is appalling.

Hope nobody lets him take a crap in peace ever again. Keep barging in on him and demanding he show id.
My wife and I went to what we thought was a suuuuper leftist bar in Berlin; Marxist stuff all over the walls, anti-Nazi stuff, etc., but the bartender stopped my wife from entering the restroom, accusing them of not being a cis woman. Sullied the whole goddamn vibe of the place.
TERFs are such awkward bigots in that they have no endgame other than to see your fuckin’ genitals. No safety, no greater good, just do you have a dick or not?
now ma'am, I believe that you were born a biological woman like you're saying, but its company policy that I gotta see that pussy
Hopefully TERFs will learn at some point that discrimination against trans women also harms cis women and empowers the patriarch.
TERFs love the patriarchy, they aren't feminist at all.
Wait wait
They want the woman to go to the men's room???
😵💫
Or... Or, is it that maybe gender is like maybe a lil bit gray, and the officer made a mistake? 🧐
That’s sexual assault, no?
You don't get it, its to protect the women! /s
Yes
