how should we respond to complaints about a non-binary guest in the bathrooms?

Every time I hear the Dims say “binary” and “non-binary” I can’t help but think of the old code-jockey joke about doing numbers in binary. LOL

Obviously, you should dox the white supremecists that complained. /s

two center of mass...

Yep. Could be an expensive political decision unless they can advertise as the go to destination for burnishing one's purity and receiving a certificate of mushiness at least as ostentatious as the one CPA's have.

The problem below is easily solved by the person on duty putting a nametag around their neck saying they feel like a woman today.

"One last twist, this resort doesn’t always have a female staff member on duty or available, so if we get a complaint when we only have male staff on duty, to investigate they’d have to knock, announce their presence, etc.

I think you are on to something. Post XY and XX on the doors . Make them prove otherwise.

My wife tells me there is a man in the woman’s room, I’m kicking his ass I don’t care if he’s wearing a dress or not

Nowhere in the story or the comments was any reference to the customers the resort will be losing if they continue to allow a biological male to use the women’s facilities.

After reading at the link, my assumption is that the “resort” is a nudist colony.

Wouldn’t that make the whole discussion moot?

FR keeps me up to date on all the new words that are out because when I read one I have to open another tab and look it up.

I do that all the time.

[gitmo]

Precisely.

It is both cruel and dangerous to participate in someone’s delusions.

Although many here are able to take this seriously and consider the problem as if it might require a solution, (even if some choose aggressive solutions that most of us wouldn’t actually resort to), I just can’t do that.

Despite my best efforts, I read this whole piece with a grin on my face. Good, well-constructed humorous writing is (and should be) respected all over the world. From Aristophanes and Mark Twain onward we all like good comedy.

Credit this talented writer with the fine, sustained wit of this excellent grin- chuckle- and snort- bait.

If the whole piece is about a real person in a real situation, all the better.
