      You don’t have to drive far outside of Portland to see Trump flags flying on along the highway.

      It was also a single occupant bathroom with a locking door. No real reason for it to even be gendered.

      Portland and the surrounding areas are this weird dichotomy of super left-wing and super right-wing people all in the same place. Hence why you tend to get a lot of Proud Boys vs Antifa demonstrations/standoffs/fights there.

      I live in Toronto, and when you live in a place that’s accepting of something like transgender people, the bigots feel attacked and become more vocal. The racists in Toronto get pretty vocal and I always wonder what the hell you’re doing in one of the most multi cultural cities in the world if you don’t like others

    I’m curious what the legality of this really is.

    What rights do businesses have to dictate which restrooms their patrons use?

        That’s weird. They can refuse people using their bathrooms if they don’t pay, I figured denying them for other reasons was also on the table.

            I mean, they shouldn’t even have to check birth certificates.

            What’s stopping a business from saying you can’t use their restrooms just because they feel like it?

              Might be part of the requirement for running a business is you have to have a restroom available. When’s the last time you were in a restaurant without a bathroom? I’m sure they all don’t just supply one because it’d be weird to not, instead it’s probably part of the license req.

              Well potentially nothing? Until someone says “why?” and then it becomes gender discrimination
