"Luca Strobel, a 25-year-old transgender man, arrived at the Sand Dollar Social Club bar in Folly Beach around 11:15 p.m. on Friday, May 16 so he could be a designated driver for his friend, 25-year-old Caroline Frady, who had been drinking to celebrate her birthday."
"When Strobel entered the men's room, he found that it only had three urinals with no dividers between them and no lock on the door, making it unable for him to use. So, after allegedly getting a female employee's permission to use the women's restroom, Strobel entered the facilities - no women were present."
Luca Strobel, a transgender man, was assaulted and insulted by a bar owner in South Carolina while using a women's restroom. He was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct despite being sober. South Carolina lacks laws restricting trans bathroom use, and Strobel's ID matched his restroom choice. Advocates for Trans Equality assert that trans individuals can use restrooms corresponding to their gender identity under federal law. Strobel is crowdfunding to move to California for safety.
