I’m guessing the majority of people who get harassed for being in the wrong bathroom going forward are going to cis people in the respective bathroom.
2 male cops entering the women’s restroom eh? Sounds like There really is a problem with men in restrooms. Not trans people though.
Gendered bathrooms are a stupid concept anyways.
“Yes, please FORCE people to shit IN DIFFERENT ROOMS based on WHAT THEY CARRY between THEIR LEGS”
— statements dreamed by the utterly BigotedThe ironic thing is these idiots all have gender neutral bathrooms in their own houses.
Is the police guarding bathrooms in the us? You motherfuckers are insane.
one would think they have better things to do, like shooting civilians
C’mon, use your brain (but not too much, or you’ll be overqualified)!
Civilians exist in bathrooms. Just shoot 'em in there.
phew, i thought for a minute she might have been trans. can you imagine any greater crime? /s
Exhibit A of the “i can always tell” crowd not being able to tell.
the deputies were called by a store employee who allegedly assumed she was a transgender woman.
It’s Walmart to blame here, not so much the police. You guys need to boycott Walmart or whatever. Are things so bad that it’s literally illegal to be trans now that Walmart calls the police on you?
This is crazy apologia. For the cops to be blameless here they would have to have told the employee calling them to fuck off and ignored the call.
I never wrote they’re blameless.
When she finally exited the stall, she said she lifted her shirt to prove she was not a man, expecting the ordeal to end. Instead, she said one deputy continued to question her appearance, insisting she “looked like a man.”
The police are equally if not more deserving of blame for continually harassing this woman even after forcing her to expose herself to them.

From the way it’s written, she did it voluntarily expecting it to then end. It does not state the police officers asked / required her to do so. If you invite a bunch of idiots in, they’re going to behave like idiots. The impetus was the Walmart employee

no, the impetus was conservative rhetoric. conservatives made this whole fucking bullshit issue out of nothing, it’s neither biologically nor sociologically consistent and simply weaponized hate turned into conservative legislation to again shit on anyone who is not cis/het/white.
never forget, walmart didn’t invent this bullshi, cops didn’t even invent this bullshit, conservatives invented this bullshit.
I’m not American but you’re hiding from a very ugly truth. The conservatives didn’t invent it. There was clearly a sizeable group of the population who felt this way but were previously oppressed from their opinions. What you’re seeing is, I guess, “free speech”? You may not like it, but that’s the price of “free speech”.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the first amendment.
“Free speech” in the context of the US Constitution means that one is free to criticize the government without fear of retaliation (which is currently being dismantled). “Free speech” does not mean that one gets to say anything they want without consequence.
From the way it’s written, she did it voluntarily expecting it to then end.
This doesn’t change the fact they cornered her in a women’s bathroom and made her feel like she needed to expose herself to them in order to stay safe. We have no way of knowing what they might have done to her if she hadn’t.

Walmart the Loblaws of America treating their customers like dirt.
If this isn’t a wake up call for all those TERF lesbians, how bad does it need to get.
Nothing protects women like sending male cops into the women’s bathroom to inspect their genitals.
Walmart gonna get soooo sued.
Now I feel so much safer. Trans women can’t come in women’s wc to piss but male police can come in to inspect my poossy if I don’t look like a porn star (which, let’s be honest is the only concept these people have of feminine women).
Just let people fuckin’ pee, ya fuckin’ weirdos. JFC.
Get those men outta that ladies room! Cops have no business in the most private space. What, you need a tampon, boys?
Who is spending enough time in the bathroom to give a shit?
Um, literally anyone shitting. But not to care about who’s in the next stall. Now can we lobby for fully-built stalls?
