Woman says security guard at Liberty Hotel in Boston confronted her in bathroom, asked to prove gender
A couple said a security guard at the Liberty Hotel in Boston challenged their use of a bathroom and kicked them out.
better title: security guard sexually assaulted a patron.
From the article:
On Tuesday morning, The Liberty Hotel said it has finished an investigation into the incident and "the security officer is being suspended from their position." It said all staff are being retrained "on inclusive practices and guest interaction protocols." The hotel is also making a donation to a local LGBTQ+ organization.
"For gender nonconforming, lesbians, women in general, being harassed in public restrooms is a tale as old as time. I do think the surge in national anti-trans rhetoric is contributing to an increased policing of women's bodies and their expression of gender," Selvaggio said.
And yet, terfs will blame trans folks for this trend, instead of the anti-trans culture they themselves contribute to.
If someone confronts you in a hateful way about your gender like this, maybe you suddenly become afraid for your safety (valid!) and spray them in the face with pepper spray.
When people ask what happens say you became afraid the stranger was trying to hurt you and put your body under threat because they were.
"The Liberty Hotel is and always will be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community..."
With allies like that...
While bathroom bills are explicitly aimed at trans folk, generally it's the non-gender conforming cis crowd that actually gets challenged IRL. Which isn't a bug, but a feature to control and enforce two clean arbitrary distinctions. Almost always some poor butch lesbian being accosted by the gender police and told to pee safely they need some makeup.
There is more to being a man than a tie, and more to being a woman than a dress. Humand are infinitely more complex than those old strict boundaries. This sort of attack is just a impotent attempt to force back the 1920'e statud quo.
Disappointed but not surprised that the sexual assailant in this article has not been charged with anything yet, let alone sexual assault...
Calling someone a creep for not matching your gender appearance expectations, as at least one of the women in line for the bathroom did to this lady, is also arguably sexual harassment. But nobody's going to bring any consequences against the woman that did that. Typical cis woman weaponizing false victimhood and then disappearing into the background with zero consequences and possibly zero self reflection.
Imma gonna start calling these fools the twat pigs. Even "genital police" sounds too dignified
Pepper spray that creep!
My response would have been "you first"...
I hate to say this because I really do love Boston. But it's a racist shithole that needs to be burned down
And MA claims to be so progressive with their gun control laws
Huh, offtopic, I didn't know there were derby parties outside Kentucky
