A transgender South Carolina man claims he was accused of at a bar by staff, called an anti-trans slur, and arrested by police for using a woman’s toilet. Should Used for being assigned a woman at birth.
Posted on Tiktok as @fulltimecowboy, Luca Strobel recently went to the Sand Dollar Social Club at Folly Beach on Friday, May 16th, to the Sand Dollar Social Club as the designated driver for Caroline Frady, who was at the bar.
Upon arriving at the bar, the 25-year-old tried to use a man’s room, but there was no food stall, just a urinal, and the facility could not be used.
A bar employee warned Strobel and his friends about going into the “opposite” sex toilet.
However, after a short exchange, Strobel enters the women’s toilet and says he believes he has permission to use the food stall. He pointed out that he and Frady were the only two people in the bathroom at the time. Morning Erin Subsack.
A man claiming to be the owner of the bar plunged into the bathroom and peered over the food stall to see Strobel.
“They look on my stall without my clothes,” Strobel said to him. video. “They can see me perfectly besides wearing my shirt, and they start screaming that there’s a ‘man’ here. ”
Strobel and Frady were kicked out of the bar as bar employees called him an anti-transgender slur.
The police, who had been called to the bar, were waiting at the door. They allegedly arrested him for “trespassing” and “public addiction.”
Strobel said the officers left a bruise in his hand, saying he was “very tight and can’t even feel his fingers.” He claimed that the arrest officers repeatedly called him a “little girl.”
“We weren’t booked, but we were cuffed. When we arrived at the station we were asking a lot of questions they refused to answer,” Strobel said in his first video. “They kept saying, ‘Take it in the courtroom, lift it up in the courtroom, lift it up in the courtroom.” ”
Second videoStrobel said he was released on a $500 bond, issued a trespass notice, with the permanent exclusion of joining a sand dollar social club, and issued a ticket for public addiction and disorderly conduct.
He told Reed he hadn’t consumed a drink on the night in question. However, he has no conclusive evidence as the officers did not issue the Breathalyzer test.
Currently, South Carolina has no state law that prevents transgender men from using women’s toilets in public accommodations, including bars. The state has laws prohibiting individuals at K-12 schools from using toilets that do not match the gender assigned at birth.
However, in this case, even if there is a law that has expanded beyond the schools of K-12, Strobel technically does not violate such laws.
Strobel’s arrest and detention are yet another evidence that there is a lot of cognitive dissonance that naturally comes with the enforcement of the “bathroom ban.”
Proponents of such prohibitions argue that people should only use toilets alongside the sex assigned at birth, but in a space designed by lesbian, transgender, or simply women, should bri on a daily basis on the concept of a person who does not conform to the stereotype forms of gender expression, even if the person has given birth.
Strobel told Reed that he believes that bar staff knows his transgender identity, as the scars from his mastectomy, or “top surgery,” are visible through his shirt. However, he refuses to hide his identity and feels that trans vision is important.
Strobel then posted more videos claiming he felt Not safe And I’m afraid of his life.
He believes it’s no longer safe to stay in South Carolina, so he’s trying to use GoFundMe to raise funds and move to a state where he doesn’t have to worry about targeting his identity.
