Gerika Mudra, 18, went to dinner in April with a friend in Owatonna, about an hour south of Minneapolis. When she went to the restroom, a server followed her inside and banged on the stall door while saying, “This is a women’s restroom. The man needs to get out of here,” according to Gender Justice, a Minnesota gender-equality organization that filed the charge on Mudra’s behalf.

Mudra, a biracial lesbian who is not transgender, said she’s been in similar situations before, where people have suggested she’s in the wrong restroom, but when she tells them she’s a woman they leave her alone. However, when she came out of the stall at Buffalo Wild Wings and told the server, “I am a lady,” she said the server responded, “You have to get out now,” according to a statement shared by Gender Justice.

Mudra said she had to prove to the server that she is a woman by unzipping her hoodie to show she has breasts. The server didn’t say anything in response but left the restroom, Mudra said.

“She made me feel very uncomfortable,” Mudra said. “After that, I just don’t like going in public bathrooms. I just hold it in. … I want to be able to use the bathroom in peace.”

The article naming the victim and not the perp is a fucking outrage

They're so obsessed with the narrative that a man is going to enter the women's bathroom and do a sex crime, they end up making a minor expose herself like that, ... , a sex crime.

[-] janus2@lemmy.zip 67 points 1 month ago

in this case it was a woman perpetuator which just shows that this brainrot ideology is ironically gender-neutral

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Of course it is. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority if transphobes are brain rotted fascist women.

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 53 points 1 month ago

If she was 18 at the time, not legally a minor, but this is absolutely atrocious regardless of these so-called "justifications". I would like to note that I feel like these people would have found other excuses to do this even if there weren't a trans panic

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

I mean still a sex crime by coercing a person to expose themselves I feel, or it at least should be

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

It is absolutely a sex crime, along with kidnapping or some adjacent charge for holding her there.

this is the worst thing on this website i've ever laughed at, and i've laughed at a lot of dark stuff here

Be Dubbed (a pedophile)

Yours was better

Transphobia hurting cis women yet again

[-] Beaver@hexbear.net 58 points 1 month ago

We were supposed to have a Mars colony by now, but instead we have penis inspections at bee dubs.

[-] Guamer@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Tagline material

[-] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 55 points 1 month ago

Man, it would be a shame if people harassed the restaurant that's mentioned in the article until that person is fired

[-] Des@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago

maybe the server just wants a slice of that sweet, sweet gofundme cash for bigots

still one hell of a risk in this economy

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

Jubilee is definitely tapping them to be in their next ragebait video

[-] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I feel like becoming the next kim davis or whatever is like becoming a regionally famous musician. It mostly boils down to luck and being in the right place at the right time. It can't really be forced.

Hopefully this person just gets what's coming to them in a bad way

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 54 points 1 month ago

"the server would not let her exit the Buffalo Wild Wings restroom until she unzipped her hoodie and showed she had breasts" sooooo a man cornered a women and wouldn't let her leave a space (kidnapping) until they exposed themselves (sexual coercion). So this person is a sexpest and if this town was as cool as Midwest towns pretend to be a mob would have beaten them by now but it isn't and they never are cuss it's just frothingfash propoganda.

God I fucking hate this country...

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago

sooooo a man

no it was a woman

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

Ah my bad, still a crime though and tbh should still be called a sexpest as being a creep towards an innocent person shouldn't be gender exclusive.

[-] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Prosecute her for sex crimes and force her to serve her sentence in a men's prison.

[-] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago

This comment gives me the ick. Smacks of wishing sexual violence on the perpetrator, which is not a cool thing to insinuate.

[-] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Eh that's what she wishes on others.

[-] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

A reeducation is better than weaponizing sexual violence and a grotesque penal system. That's what the ghouls do, be better than that.

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 42 points 1 month ago

This is exactly the sort of disgusting shit they were always pushing for with anti-trans laws. They just want to control and assault women.

[-] Bronstein_Tardigrade@lemmygrad.ml 40 points 1 month ago

I saw "server forced her to prove her gender" and figured Keir Starmer had passed another internet law.

[-] frogbellyratbone_@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

Gender Justice has filed a charge of discrimination with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR) on Gerika’s behalf.

probably not Gender Justice's purview, but Gerika should contact a personal injury attorney to pursue civil liability charges too. false imprisonment, sexual assault, IIED, whatever sticks i'll leave it to them.

Waltz should task the DOJ to get involved as well because how is this not criminal?

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Waltz should task the DOJ to get involved

Waltz should do that but he should also expect nothing. It's Trump's DOJ now.

[-] frogbellyratbone_@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

states have DOJs controlled by the state enforcing state law. sep from fed DOJ enforcing fed law

etc.

[-] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Could send in the national guard or something. That's so hot right now

[-] graymess@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

Gender policing chuds or not, any business open to the public that denies a bathroom deserves to have their front door pissed on.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 31 points 4 weeks ago

Trans women, notoriously not able to grow tits at all? puzzled

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 21 points 4 weeks ago

like a hater would know how it works

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Solitary confinement for the chud.

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago
[-] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Nah. Men's prison.

At fucking Buffalo Wild Wings no less!

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Real classy place

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 10 points 1 month ago

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

outside of college towns and major cities it's hogged up like the rest of the country.
