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).

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.

2 male cops entering the women’s restroom eh? Sounds like There really is a problem with men in restrooms. Not trans people though.

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.

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 Bigoted

And of course it's a black woman. Their idea of "real woman" is entirely centered around white femininity
