Turns out the male in the women's bathroom was the security guard, instead.

Again.
When I was a kid I thought fancy ladies rooms had butler dudes in them too
I'll be honest, it never really crossed my mind that the ladies room attendant was a chick, I never really put much thought into that one.
Also too, BECAUSE IT'S JUST A DESIGNATED PLUMBED ROOM TO TAKE A SHIT, NOT A FUCKING THING TO BE POLITICIZED.
better title: security guard sexually assaulted a patron.
By definition this is so close to terrorism
From the article:
On Tuesday morning, The Liberty Hotel said it has finished an investigation into the incident and "the security officer is being suspended from their position." It said all staff are being retrained "on inclusive practices and guest interaction protocols." The hotel is also making a donation to a local LGBTQ+ organization.
suspended
paid vacation
This shit happened in my state. I am low key tempted to figure out who that is, book a trip to Boston coinciding with that dipshit's return to service, and aggressively "transvestigate" their nasal cavity with pepper spray before I give their teeth an exclusive meet and greet with a curb.
Pretty sure inclusion training is now illegal in the US
Backpedal and save face (and pay lip-service)
I live in Boston. My parents have stayed at that hotel before while visiting me. I’m going to tell them to not consider it going forward.
The Hotel suspended the asshole guard and is doing a bunch of things to try to make amends and you want to punish them?
Edit: and they are doing all of his in an America lead by an administration that is actively trying to punish any company or organization that even whispers inclusivity or acknowledges LGBTQ+ people and causes.
They should have fired him tbh
Probably union or a proceedure to work thru.
"For gender nonconforming, lesbians, women in general, being harassed in public restrooms is a tale as old as time. I do think the surge in national anti-trans rhetoric is contributing to an increased policing of women's bodies and their expression of gender," Selvaggio said.
And yet, terfs will blame trans folks for this trend, instead of the anti-trans culture they themselves contribute to.
Yup, the terfs in line couldn’t imagine a woman exists who didn’t look like their version of a woman to them since she didn’t follow every trend of what “being a woman” should look like based on social media, most likely.
Baker was born a woman and identifies as a woman. But, she said she was escorted out of the restroom and then comments were directed at her from other women waiting in line.
"Someone said, 'Get him out of here,' referring to me. 'He's a creep,' also referring to me," Baker said.

I'm already seeing it "Transpeople caused this!" "This wasn't necessary until THEY stirred the pot!"
TERF Kinds of fascist apologia
That security guard should be fired.
Arrested for violating the woman's civil rights.

Exactly the type of people empowered by the current administration.
Even then, though, this shit doesn't fly here.
Shouldn't have happened at all, but at least the hotel fired the shitfucker and tried to make this right, while in other parts of the country this behavior would have been celebrated.
It just says he was suspended not fired.
Also depends on if the security was contracted. If so, then the hotel can ask for a personelle change but isn't responsible for their employment. The contractor would just relocate the guard if they don't fire him.
GUARD: SHOW ME YOUR PUSSY!
GIRL: No, get out of the girl’s bathroom. I’m calling the police.
GUARD: then… PROVE YOUR GENDER?
Sounds like a script from a pron movie
Hey! I’m an uhh amateur filmmaker. Want to make a movie with me?
History has shown us that if a man wants to go into a women's bathroom to harass or assault women, he doesn't usually get all disguised to do it.
Texas security guard on a grayhound: ma'am, are you pregnant or a fat guy?
Guy: Dude, its a bus! Everyone goes in the same toilet when its a bus! Wanna see my pee pee?
I thought people simply don't go to a toilet on a greyhound. 🤔
That's because using the bathroom on a coach bus is the fastest way to get everyone else on the bus to hate you.
Aww that's gross. I thought the Liberty Hotel is a fun place. Also…y'know…liberty…
It's actually converted from an old prison, so has a long history of negating personal rights.
"The Liberty Hotel is and always will be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community..."
With allies like that...

Pepper spray that creep!
I hate to say this because I really do love Boston. But it's a racist shithole that needs to be burned down
i knew a person that was misgendered, and was questioned by AA why she went into the womans bathroom because she was wearing a shoes and some clothes that men wear.
