"A video has resurfaced which shows a lesbian being removed from a bathroom in the US, after she cannot prove that she is female.

The video, uploaded by blogger Tamara McDaniel, shows the woman being forcibly removed from a bathroom by police who ask her for ID. "

From what I understand, Snopes says no. The video is from another incident having nothing to do with bathrooms.

Well, actually, Snopes says "Mixture."  (i.e, partly true and partly false)  Here's the link to the Snopes analysis:

The video DOES show what it seems to show: a young female ejected from a women's restroom for being insufficiently "feminine" and lacking ID.

What it DOESN'T show is an incident under North Carolina's HB2.  The video has been circulating since at least December 2015.  Since this was several months before HB2 was enacted, this incident was not a direct consequence of HB2.

But the incident IS real.  And what it shows is exactly what North Carolina Republicans and Governor McCrory intend to make the new normal . . .

Some butch cis lesbians are going to have a real hard time of things, but it's also going to be the thing that makes these bills implode once people like that woman start suing.

The civil rights lawyers in some of our Red states have to be seeing dollar signs in their sleep over these things. A pay day is coming.

Not just butch cis women. Soon people will see the reasons why the obsession with passing is worthless. A lot of cis women, even femme cis women, look like what some people think trans women look like.
