Turns out the male in the women's bathroom was the security guard, instead.

better title: security guard sexually assaulted a patron.

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.

"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.

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?

Exactly the type of people empowered by the current administration.

That security guard should be fired.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Aww that's gross. I thought the Liberty Hotel is a fun place. Also…y'know…liberty…
