While peeing, a man who called himself the bar owner came into the women’s restroom and looked over Strobel’s stall.
This is the crime.

Trans man uses women’s restroom to follow the law. Police detained him for it anyway.
(www.lgbtqnation.com)
Gonna guess not having a stall is against ADA laws also. Sounds like that bar needs to go.
There was a stall. He looked over it.
It seems there was a stall in the women's restroom, but not the men's
…where would men poop if no stall? Poo urinal?
Edit: read more myself, and now my question is towards the establishment instead. What the fuck?
With the right attitude, the whole world can be your toilet.

Cruelty is the point. They don't want trans people to exist so they'll make that existence as bad as possible.
He was going out of his way to do everything “right” too.
He couldn’t use the men’s, because it was a trough set up. He talked to an employee, made sure that no one was in the women’s.
And then the cops had the gall to accuse him of being drunk and disorderly?
IIRC, he was the designated driver too.
Shithole countries are wild.
This confused me. Do men not shit? Do men not have shitters that are also perfectly servicable squatty potties? What kind of bar has a piss only bathroom?

I already read this story yesterday. The title here is wrong in two ways:
- He used the women's restroom after trying the men's and finding there were no stalls, only urinals. The motivation was not the law, but necessity.
- South Carolina doesn't even have one of those shitty laws (yet)
A men's bathroom without stalls? How is this even a thing? Where are they supposed to poop in that establishment?
The urinal, of course.
Fellas, is it gay to poop while sitting down?
If god didn't want my buttcheeks poopy, then why did he make them hairy?

Regarding (1), he also got verbal permission from the bartender before entering the women's restroom

well yeah. the point is to make the cops have more excuses to harm communities.
There have been so many cops everywhere the past fucking week where I live. I am so terrified.
I started using men’s restrooms in 2013. No one ever cared. No one has ever cared.
I used to travel a lot across my state - I like going to wonky small towns, dragged ex’s to places like the Spiro Mounds, wanted to explore the ghost town of Picher, had adventures with foster children in Arkansas…. but I have to stay in a city now.
It’s like a video game map now. Hubworlds are safe, the cops will be noticed if they do something and are at least dimly aware of that. But travel could cause a random encounter, with multiple deeply unpleasant outcomes.
That is why they do that shit. It’s stochastic terrorism. At least when I was a kid crying in terror over 9/11, the world was telling me that it was happening and it was real.
Well, like a video game, time to arm up and train for potential random encounters. I'd like to the see the people start winning some of these encounters. These cowards will draw back as soon as they get bit.
I play like Morrowind. I stay in safe areas and do low level small quests. I stick up and prepare before a journey. I try to join small factions for both missions and protections.
A gunfight would quickly end with me dead, and there would be no way of changing the story. If I was armed, it would be easy to tell all kinds of stories about what happens. I know cops lie.
I have zero interest in violence. Being a queer kid in Oklahoma has already resulted in experiencing physical violence at multiple points in my life. I have spent more time learning to make a punch hurt less than I have learning to throw them. Any point where retaliation has been attempted makes the punches harder, and garners me more other consequences. It’s easier to show people your gashes if they cannot reveal a bruise.

No, they won't. They will escalate. And feel righteous doing it.
stay safe and stay strong. if someone asks just tell them to stop sexually assaulting you and know your state’s self defense doctrine.
just. ugh. stay strong. i dont know what else to say. 🫂

Now that the corpos dumped us we have exactly 0 reason to hold back. It's team to return pride to it's roots
Strobel said he plans on defending himself in court
That's a bad idea, even though he has an easy case (in theory).
Yeah and it's not just about how easy or hard the case is, lawyers know how to follow the rules, procedures, regulations etc. You're honestly just wasting your and the courts time even if you win.
MAGAts are trying to make it unlivable for people.
USA has become a sociopathic society.
They claim to love freedom, but regulate to harass every minority there is.
The culture has become sick with sadistic hate.
Just look to one of the biggest "small government" states, Texas. They're becoming an absolute nanny state pushing so many stupid regulations in the name of "Oh won't someone please think of the children!"
Freedom, my ass. They never cared about freedom.

These bigots continue to harass trans people.
These people are so illogical, it doesn't make any sense. It is just blind hatred. There is no data. Nothing that confirms their wrapped view or reality. In fact, these bigots are more likely to harm someone.
Working as intended, I'm afraid. 😡
why does anybody give a fuck what bathroom you use in the first fucking place
Because you might be a sexual predator, and a law banning trans people from bathrooms will definitely stop a rapist.
In other words, irrationality.

This is the point of these laws. It's not to protect people it's to make existing in public impossible for trans people

Why is the world such a horrible place right now? How are these hate filled, moronic, dickheads in power right now? How are they not the ones being ostracised from society? It's horrifying. It fills me with remorse for bringing ro children into the world. What have i forced them to endure?
I hope things change for the better soon.
Trans people dont deserve to be treated like shit. They are all just people the same as anyone else. But some people, ( Again, the ones that should be on the receiving end of their own hatred and stupidity) are just too dumb to understand.

How dare you follow the law!
Just shit in your hand and start throwing it at patrons. It's the only way
Gotta go put on your lady face and feel uncomfortable to use the restroom as a trans man now.
Can't make the straights feel things!
And we certainly can't have any ungendered bathrooms in public spaces. No siree.
/s (obv.)
Also speaking as a cis straight male, this is fucking stupid. Use whatever bathroom you feel comfortable going into, don't be a creep and certainly don't rape anyone.... Those directives may be targeted at different groups of people.... Just saying.
Be who you want to be.

I've been waiting for a story like this to happen in the UK for a while now. When I saw this I was actually surprised to see it was in the US. It's only a matter of time, if it hasn't already happened.
