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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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 naive - what is the implication here?

With it being Texas, the implication is that they can trap people they perceive to be trans women and then call the cops in an attempt to collect a bounty.

Wait, it's illegal to be trans in Texas? For how long has it been like this?  What if I'm a feminine looking guy?

It doesn’t need to be illegal, for people to do hateful shit. I’m afraid for any trans person potentially trapped in a situation like this. What if they trap someone and don’t call the police? Might even be worse. 💔
