She apparently was a self-appointed bathroom gender-inspector. Transphobes feeling bold these days.
He should be arrested and charged with sexaual assault of a minor. Fucking pedophile. What restaurant? They should be hounded for employing a pedophile.
It's like the first line in the article. Buffalo Wild Wings.
It's in the summary if you didn't open the article as well. Says 18 and Buffalo Wild Wings. There seems to be an increase of accounts saying random remarks that could look bad, or bad talking anyone left of MAGA and saying things that would only sow doubt or cause division.
2024 there was always clashing between the left and the Democrats and a bunch of name calling of centrists and what not... But it simmered down it seemed. I have a feeling we are only going to see it pick back up slowly until it's all division again in 2026.
She, and the victim was 18 and clearly an adult.

Isn't that just called assault?
This was by design. Anti-trans fear-mongering was always meant to punish men who don’t look manly enough and women who don’t look like 50s housewives. The cruelty is the point.
It was never about women or safety. It was always about control, fear, and punishment.
Cowardly attacks on the most vulnerable for criminally-immoral political advantage. Leave our neighbors alone!

It’s gross that the victim of this scenario is now made public and yet the sexual abuser identity here is protected? Wtf.
It's also worth mentioning Buffalo wild wings in the comments. Because they apparently don't have enough policy to keep their servers from trying to gender check people.
It's also worth mentioning there's only one BWW in Owatonna, Minn.

Welcome to Republicans' America. This comes right after Trump's administration started forcing trans folks out of the military, yet denying them retirement benefits. People with 15-18 years of service to our country that had been previously approved for early retirement have now had that rescinded because they are "medically unfit". The hatred is in full force...

Child predators, right?
Victim was 18 so technically an adult, but still young. Who knows how many people the server has previously accosted (and how old they were) as well?
yeah, my comment definitely sounds like I'm saying that the victim was a child. I'm just referring to the argument that all the politicians made about why we need bathroom bills.
No one who isn't an evil motherfucker is going into bathrooms to victimize children. How do you know if someone is an evil motherfucker? Well, the low-bar starts at "willing to check other people's anatomy to find out if they can potty in this room."

And this is in a state with no anti-trans bathroom laws. This server has no excuse other than being a complete piece of shit. Wish they'd name and shame her.
Based on the article the server is a woman.
“She made me feel very uncomfortable,” Mudra said. “After that, I just don’t like going in public bathrooms. I just hold it in. ... I want to be able to use the bathroom in peace.”

This is fully sexual assault
It seems like these news stories only get written when the victim is a cis person mistaken for being trans.
It’s because trans technology is so advanced that they all pass undetected. /s
In all seriousness, I think it reflects just how distorted the anti-trans bigot’s perception of reality is and how enabled they feel to act on those perceptions. These people believe that trans people are more common than they actually are and they are hyper-fixated on proving it.
I think your critique of the “not a problem until it affects me” nature of this is valid; however, this also signifies that transphobia is becoming less rhetorical and more actionable. That is terrifying for anyone who doesn’t meet the arbitrary socially acceptable expressions of gender.
My hope here is that more people will come to realize how stupid transphobia and gender/bathroom policing is when they start to realize that it affects them, too.

It looks we’re one step away from someone having to physically “verify” someone’s gender.
“I only inserted my fingers into their vagina to make sure that it was real.”
“I touched their penis to confirm that it was indeed real.”
