History has shown us that if a man wants to go into a women's bathroom to harass or assault women, he doesn't usually get all disguised to do it.

Huh, offtopic, I didn't know there were derby parties outside Kentucky
"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.
Yup, the terfs in line couldn’t imagine a woman exists who didn’t look like their version of a woman to them since she didn’t follow every trend of what “being a woman” should look like based on social media, most likely.
Baker was born a woman and identifies as a woman. But, she said she was escorted out of the restroom and then comments were directed at her from other women waiting in line.
"Someone said, 'Get him out of here,' referring to me. 'He's a creep,' also referring to me," Baker said.

Turns out the male in the women's bathroom was the security guard, instead.
Again.
So women won't be able to even take a piss without being under the control of armed men. It's almost as though they're using trans people as an excuse. . .

Imma gonna start calling these fools the twat pigs. Even "genital police" sounds too dignified
My response would have been "you first"...
I don't see what the big deal is about bathrooms. I have been to bars and nightclubs and even gas stations where there is no gender assigned to the bathrooms. You have stalls and you have urinals. Anyone who only wants to pee and can do so standing up, uses the urinal. Anyone who needs to poop or wants to sit down while they pee uses the stalls. No one touches anyone else without permission and staring at anyone else's crotch in the bathroom is creepy. I know men are creepy but I would argue that they will behave themselves better when there is more traffic in and out of the bathroom. Hanging a sign that restricts gender won't keep a creep from lurking in there anyway.
I once drunkenly wandered into the women's restroom at a bar, took my piss after I couldn't find the urinals, got all the way to the washing my hands phase, me and a lady who was also minding her business locked eyes while she also washed her hands, we both triple took, then I said "ooops I'm not supposed to be here" then we both just cackled, and went about our business.
That's the end of the story, no one was upset, no one was assaulted, no one gave a single fuck and we both had a good laugh.
A mate of mine met his wife in the women's toilets
(Mens was disgusting, he nipped across, she "caught" him in there and laughed her arse off at his expression. )
That's just it, these pricks who keep throwing a fit about who uses which bathroom are really much more interested in hating transgender people than they are about protecting anyone. You can point out stats about who is actually assaulting who and how it's happening, and it won't change a thing, because protection was never the point.
The cruelty is the point.
Punishing deviation from gender norms is the point.

It's the same reason why there's suddenly a big deal about women's sports.
It's not about protecting women at all, since it now leads to men policing those spaces and basically demanding from women that they drop their panties to prove their sex.
And that is the actual goal, to invade women's spaces and bodies.

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.

GUARD: SHOW ME YOUR PUSSY!
GIRL: No, get out of the girl’s bathroom. I’m calling the police.
GUARD: then… PROVE YOUR GENDER?
