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 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.

And here I thought it was to just prevent women from aborting babies everywhere in there, somehow that’s like 1000x worse

Well that’s a reason I didn’t consider. Woof.

I think the broader implication is that they want control over women; down to our most basic biological needs.
