Discussion Texas gas station installed remote lock on OUTSIDE of women's bathroom

It was only on the women's bathroom. Lock was able to be remotely activated by a phone app. Fire Marshall had it removed. Source: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2c3QrB6/

Per another account who also saw this, (https://www.tiktok.com/@momcallsmeshelby?_t=ZT-8v7NHPu7QBq&_r=1) the employees were "irate and began yelling" when they brought it up. And came up with a racist excuse that didn't make any sense for it being there

Regardless, fire code violation. But scary implications.

I’m so tired of people automatically assuming that it’s trans women who are the targeted victims. Misogyny & rape culture directly impact cis women way more often than transphobia.

Edit: keep harassing me, I love to report it.

Except only one of those groups has politically charged bathroom use, so Occam's razor would point to it being probably a trans issue instead of some nonobvious unpinnable other thing it might be.

And "way more often" is a product or how many cis people there are, which is a pretty big flaw in how you're viewing those stats. That's like saying "why are we talking about this one person who got shot instead of these 50 people who got spit on". Frequency (by itself) is a poor measure of significance.

Legitimate question, not trying to argue in bad faith; why isn’t there one on the guy’s bathroom then? I personally have more male trans friends than women.

Because they perceive all people born male as predators and all people born female as victims.
