Helpful Man Patrols Texas Ladies' Room, Tells Woman 'You're Dressed Like a Man'
The recent spate of anti-LGBT bathroom bills across the country were built to solve a problem that doesn’t exist—that of sexual predators busting into ladies’ rooms by pretending to be women. It’s also creating a fun new problem by empowering ordinary folks to pretend as though they have a unique ability to gaze into people’s minds/hearts/shorts and determine where they should be peeing.
Earlier this week, a video went viral of a lesbian being forced out of a bathroom by male police officers who didn’t think she looked like a woman. And now, via the Dallas Observer, we have this charming video of a man interrogating a woman to make sure she’s peeing in the right spot.
Reporter Eric Nicholson writes that the video was shot by Jessica Rush at the Baylor Medical Center in the suburb of Frisco on Thursday. (Full disclosure: I used to work at the Observer and Eric is my friend.) Rush was born female. She identifies as a woman. She was in the right place, bathroom-wise, but because she had on basketball shorts and has short hair, the dude had to check things out.

walked into a ladies room to accost this woman for not fitting is stereotype? Ooooh, I can think of some cures for that disease.
Like start screaming that there's a man in the bathroom or that he is not only in the bathroom but is also attacking you and that they went in the women's bathroom specifically to assault you.
That should work in most cases. Get loud and make sure that someone with a badge shows up and lets you file charges.
It has to be one of the most idiotic, ever. I consider this yet another "distraction."
