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.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 person was 18 and clearly an adult.

i witnessed a young woman crying at a mcdonalds the other day. she walked into the ladies room and a man was in there jerking off.

the problem has nothing to do with gender.

the problem is assholes.

this server is a sex predator and needs prison.

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.

It’s gross that the victim of this scenario is now made public and yet the sexual abuser identity here is protected? Wtf.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's also worth mentioning there's only one BWW in Owatonna, Minn.

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.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.”

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

My point still stands, but thank you for the correction. Fixed.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 54 points 1 week ago (7 children)

can we switch to gender neutral bathrooms please?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 week ago (7 children)

But can you prove your gender is neutral? 🧐

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

All I know is that my genitals say "maybe"

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...

having their retirement stolen from them is fucking vile

I'm actually surprised that I have not heard about people dying as a result of this

If you’re a minor being questioned like this, start screaming PEDO. Guaranteed they back down once they realize what she said and what they’re doing is quite disturbing

It seems like these news stories only get written when the victim is a cis person mistaken for being trans.

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?

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.”

Surely "fuck off you stupid cunt" is the only reasonable response to such a request?
