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?

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.

"When I do it it's Morally Right™" Is their basic justification.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? 🧐

I saw a picture of the lady. She is tall, has short hair and kind of masculine facial features, but none of that is an excuse. The male security guard demanded to see her genitals to prove she was female. Female bathrooms only have stalls. Even if she had been a trans woman, no one else in the bathroom would have ever seen her naked crotch and she wouldn't have seen theirs.
The story here is a MALE hotel employee went into a FEMALE BATHROOM and demanded to see a woman's genitals because she didn't look girly enough for his standards.

I didn't see in the article where the guard asked to see the woman's genitals. That aside, I hope that the woman at least gets a very substantial payout from this harassment.

He demanded that she prove she is female. How exactly would one do that?

According to the article, he asked to see her ID. Which is more than fucked up enough already.

Drivers License? of course theres always the possibility its fake, but the likely hood someone carrying a fake one at a hotel I wouldnt think is particularly high

Lots of people use fake IDs to check into hotels. They may not want people, like their spouse, to know they were there. I personally made thousands of fake IDs in the late 90s The majority of the customers were probably just teenagers who wanted to buy booze and smokes. A few of them probably wanted to commit identity theft. I never questioned the data they wanted entered on the ID. If you want the name to say Brad Pitt, your name is now Brad Pitt. If you want a birth-date to make you 22 years old, I didn't care if you looked 15 or if you looked 50. If you said your gender was Female, that's what I put on the ID. I asked no questions and made no attempt to verify anything they wrote on the form I had them fill out. I did inform them that, while possessing or making such an ID was not a crime, (at the time) presenting it to a law enforcement agent as identification or attempting to buy age restricted products with it was a crime. It was $40 for the ID and you got a free duplicate ID.

I think someone at a hotel is more likely to be carrying fake genitalia.

Hope nobody lets him take a crap in peace ever again. Keep barging in on him and demanding he show id.
