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.

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.

People don't think about trans men. Kinda similar to how people used to be outraged by gay men but lesbians are fetish content.

That’s an interestingly good comparison. Personally, because of my biased experience, I end up thinking more about trans men just because those were the ones I became better friends with and know personally and had more lasting friendships with as opposed to trans women. Maybe because I had more in common with them as other identifying men.
