"...$10,000 charitable donation to a nonprofit organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ causes. ..." That didn't seem to work out in the hotel's favor.

Rather than place the onus on the establishment to separate out sexes, once inside the restrooms, laws should just let people shoot the wrong sex in there or coming from in there.

The sexes will self-correct, then—or all be dead.

Looks like a dude.

If you don’t want to be accused of being a dude, don’t go about looking exactly like a dude.

Toughen up, butter cup.

Plays into the left’s hands. If he were a man he sues. If it’s got a woman’s plumbing she sues. Result-no one knows what to do and the lawyers clean up. Deep pockets pay up(hotel) and the small businesses get scared.

Judging from the foto, Miss Baker clearly wishes to be seen as male. She should have been flattered that she was removed from the women’s restroom.

I think it needs to prove it is a woman but who wants to do the observation, and it is counting on that.

There’s more than one reason to just pee behind a dumpster or in some landscaping these days, if you are a gal.

She looks like a woman with a buzz cut. She probably sounds like a woman .

I was expecting a burly dyke biker

S Clay Wilson’s Ruby the Dyke is what I was thinking.

Perhaps if he did a better job of looking like a woman there would be less confusion.
Take personal responsibility.

Looks like a man to me...a somewhat frail and effeminate man, but a man nonetheless.

Am I wrong to think that? Does that make me a bad person?

She WANTS to look like a man.

She was essentially disguised as a man. No sympathy from me.

Agreed. She went so far as binding her breasts for this little money making woke charade.
