What was the computer doing in the bathroom in the first place?
Surely “fuck off you stupid cunt” is the only reasonable response to such a request?
Exactly. I would NEVER “prove” anything to anyone. The proper response is to collect their name, the manager’s name, and hire a lawyer to send a letter to corporate.
maybe next time you go and vote instead of looking at tiktok
Where does the article say she didn’t vote, or that she was even 18 ten months ago?
I’m quite sure they were referring to the many people who sat out the election due to concerns over genocide, which - fun fact - we’re getting anyway, but now with bonus fascism.
What does that have to do with watching tiktok? Seems like a regular boomer-ass comment to me.
I can only speculate, but maybe because TikTok and other social media algorithms were one of the main ways that the election was influenced by bad actors.
BWW is a trash ass company!! I was on restrictions where I couldn’t lift anything more than 5lbs and then couldn’t be on my feet for a prolonged time due to a back injury I had at the school I taught and this manager has the audacity to tell me I still could work a double and yelled at me about how messed up it was that I couldn’t come in (I had doctors notes and gave him notice). I then so upset called corporate and complained about what happened to me and they promised to follow up and ensure that doesn’t happens to anyone else given my doctors notes. Well come to find out, he was fired two weeks after my corporate complaint! So hopefully they do the same because that company is truly horrid and that server is a POS! NAME HER! Haha.
So you called out a shitty boss\employee to upper management and they fired him. I’m pretty sure that response means they actually do care about these kind of situations. Sorry you dealt with a manager that didn’t understand an applicable HR situation, but that doesn’t mean the whole company is trash. Hopefully they do react the same for this situation.
Yes but I had to deal with calling corporate because he wouldn’t put me on leave. I was injured as a teacher and had notes and still wouldn’t give. He put me on doubles but I shouldn’t have had to call corporate, that’s the point. Also, almost always my order from BWW is wrong, why we don’t eat there anymore.
Not trying to pay for wrong orders, terrible service, and mediocre food. I agree, they did handle it appropriately but only after I called corporate because he wouldn’t stop calling me to try to get me to come in. That shouldn’t have happened. Glad he’s gone but can’t imagine what’s happening at other stores. My friend worked there for a year and the entire time she hated it, management, and would come home to our apartment crying almost everyday. (I thought it was just that store-until I experienced it myself firsthand from another store).
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
I’ll remember this when I’m an 18 year old minor
Guaranteed they back down once they realize what she said and what they’re doing is quite disturbing
Cruelty isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. MAGA has a massive cruelty hardon. The dumbth voted for this because they are seething with resentment at being made to feel stupid (by the “intellectual elites”) and backwards (by progressives) and ignorant (by the informed) and intolerant (by the woke). You can literally hear what they’re pissed about in the names that they call people. They WANT people hurt. They WANT revenge. THIS is what the dumbth want.
Well, I want THEM hurt too! I want them to get the peeeerfect caricature of what they believe in, and watch them suffer under.
I want them to be smarter and less hateful. They would be a lot happier if they worked to improve themselves instead of trying to tear everyone else down.
She’s not a minor.
You think the genital police can tell the difference between an adult and a child?
Nope, shout “Fire”. No one comes for rape, I doubt anymore come for pedo. But fire? They’ll come.
I feel like yelling fire will make people run away, not toward.
Don’t yell Rape, or every MAGA will come running to join in.
You would think. But no, apparently most human beings are kinda weird, and mostly stupid. Just look at how people behave behind the wheel of a car, when they are driving past an accident. It could be someone turned into a meat crayon, or looking like Anakin Skywalker after Obi Wan cuts his legs off. People not only break sharply to see whats going on, everyone behind them does as well. Usually creating very slowed down traffic for miles if there enough of them.
I think it has something to do with getting involved. Rape, you have to get involved. Pedo, you have to get involved, fire? You can just watch. I mean, dont quote me on that. Thats just a guess as to why it happens.
That’s why I bring my ID and passport to restaurants. Gotta prove I’m white, hunkydory, citizen and male. Having to show my dick in public places gets old quick. But then I need to show I’m black or Chinese for other things.
This is fully sexual assault
But it is for their own good. Without measures like this, they might end up in bathrooms with perv… hey wait a minute. 💡
The craziest part to me is as a parent I’ve gone in the opposite gendered bathroom so many times because places won’t put changing tables in the mens rooms. I’ve never had anyone bat an eye at it either
Soooo… A guy with a gun in front of every toilet
Good, just what every girl wants to hear! Makes them feel quite safe.
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 him.
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.”
My point still stands, but thank you for the correction. Fixed.
She should press charges for harrassment.
I consider this a sexual act on a minor, so file a police report.
She’s 18. It’s the second word after the headline.
But they didn’t know that. So file anyway 😈
Yah but, like, she works in a coal mine.

It seems like these news stories only get written when the victim is a cis person mistaken for being trans.
There are way more cis people.
One thing is that these are the stories that actually have some vague chance at swaying a person that thinks we should be policing trans use of bathrooms. If they see more trouble and harassment of the class of people they think they are protecting, maybe part of them has to see it’s doing even more against their cause than the alternative.
Another is that trans people are relatively more rare, so it just makes plain sense that this will usually happen to a cisgender person. If someone thinks that someone seems not to look like their gender, odds still are that they are cisgender just by the numbers.
Pretty sure you’re right that there’s more articles about cis people being “inconvenienced”. However I can think of at least 3 reasons off of the top of my head:
-
there are way more cis people than trans people. While I strongly suspect that a larger percentage of the trans community is affected compared to cis people, purely by numbers it’s still more likely to affect cis people more frequently just because there’s so much more of them. Depending on which statistics you listen to only 0.5% - 3% of people are trans.
-
trans people (and especially the ones who do not pass particularly well) are more likely to avoid public bathrooms now. Cis people are more likely to not expect any issues and not think twice.
-
Apparently a decently large part of the right wing voter base would agree with trans people being denied entry into bathrooms. It’s what people decided this “law” was for in the first place (not that that this law was even applicable here). However if you show those same people that someone they empathize with also is negatively affected that’s more likely to lead to change.

The last one before this I read was an ftm guy, Luca Strobel, who had to use the woman’s bathroom since there were no stalls in the men’s.

https://lemmy.world/post/30614642Though, those publications are considerably less mainstream, so you still have a point.
It’s because trans technology is so advanced that they all pass undetected. /s
In all seriousness, I think it reflects just how distorted the anti-trans bigot’s perception of reality is and how enabled they feel to act on those perceptions. These people believe that trans people are more common than they actually are and they are hyper-fixated on proving it.
I think your critique of the “not a problem until it affects me” nature of this is valid; however, this also signifies that transphobia is becoming less rhetorical and more actionable. That is terrifying for anyone who doesn’t meet the arbitrary socially acceptable expressions of gender.
My hope here is that more people will come to realize how stupid transphobia and gender/bathroom policing is when they start to realize that it affects them, too.
can we switch to gender neutral bathrooms please?
In a society where women are often harassed, many women use bathrooms to escape men, even if just for a few moments of peace.
There was a place in Japan I went to that had 2 bathrooms: one gender neutral and one women’s room. I don’t know if that solves everyone’s problems (or anyone’s) but I thought it was interesting.
Everywhere needs at least one single occupancy gender neutral restroom.
But saying that, I’ve been harassed while trying to use a porta potty. Can’t win for losing.
The problem is, with women like this server around, you can still get harassed in the bathroom even with no men present. So I’m not sure it has much value as a refuge at this point.
My wife has shared so many crazy stories of shit going down in women’s restrooms. Like, men just do their business and get out. It’s one of the few things you could argue isn’t toxic about masculinity
If you’re being harassed, I feel like going is a closed space like a bathroom is probably the worst idea possible
But can you prove your gender is neutral? 🧐
No, my gender is hostile.
Then you need to use the one with a picture of a goose on the door
It’s when your crotch is flat, obviously, like a playmobil
If you’re completely flat then there’s your proof
You can show them your flat pics
Alternative version: you show them your intersex official member card™️
All I know is that my genitals say “maybe”
What makes genitals go neutral?
Lust for gold? Power?
Two magic 8 balls and one of those tubes that goes wuuueaugh when inverted
Yes
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
I’m surprised there haven’t been lawsuits around breach of contracts
Early retirement is a privilege not a right. At least that’s how it works in the Military.
It’s not like retiring is their choice, they’re being kicked out.
I know, which is why the packages are being denied. The packages won’t be approved because they don’t meet standards. It’s bullshit because the standards changed under them, I was in a similar boat when I was in. But that’s how the system works
That’s a weird passive-voice way to say “the system was weaponized against them.”
Arson feels like an appropriate response.
Even the mods agree. You gotta burn bad behavior back before it spreads.
Pro tip: If a place serves chicken wings, and calls them “Buffalo Wings” just do yourself a favor, and skip it.
Do you apply a similar rule to California Rolls, Texas Toast, Key Lime Pie, New York Cheesecake, or Philly Cheesesteaks?
What’s wrong with Buffalo?
Nothing, but they are just “chicken wings”. Generally, if a place calls them “Buffalo wings” they just aren’t good.
Ah fair enough. Not from the us here, so they just call them buffalo wings anyway.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
I mean I don’t like Buffalo sauce either, but you are basically saying just skip wings altogether because everywhere seems to do this.
