Trans Man Handcuffed at Bar: A Story of Discrimination and Outrage

Transgender Man Arrested After Using Women's Restroom at South Carolina Bar A transgender man was arrested in Folly Beach, South Carolina, after using the women's restroom at a local bar. According to the video, the man, identified as Luca Strobel, had permission to use the restroom. However, the bar owner pushed him out, and an employee shouted transphobic slurs at him. A police officer then arrived and handcuffed Strobel. Strobel stated in the video, "They're looking over the top of the stall at me without my clothes on. They can fully see me naked other than me having my shirt on, and they just start screaming that there's a man in here." The incident has sparked outrage and highlights ongoing issues of discrimination against transgender individuals. Strobel has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to move to California, where he feels safer. The local police department has not yet released a statement regarding the incident.
