"I'm Honestly In Shock": This 25-Year-Old's Story About Being Detained Just For Using The Bathroom Is Absolutely Horrifying
Luca Strobel, 25, is a transgender man living in South Carolina who used to talk a lot about the importance of being visibly out and proud in that part of the country. Now, after a frightening incident at a local bar, his sense of safety has been shattered, and he's raising funds to leave the state. On May 16, Luca visited a local bar to be a sober driver for a friend. While he was waiting for her to be ready to leave, he realized he needed to use the restroom. But he had a problem. The men's room at the bar only had urinals — no stalls, and no privacy. After a brief exchange with a staff member, Luca and his friend entered the otherwise empty women's restroom so he could pee. In a now-viral TikTok where he recounted his story, Luca said, "So this is where I start to think, this is a setup, and I'm about to get hate-crimed." Next, Luca says that the bar owner came into the bathroom while they were peeing and started to yell at him over the stall door. "They just start like screaming that like there's a man in here taking a shit. I shouldn't be in there. Like, they were cussing." After they finished using the restroom, Luca says the bar owner pushed him out of the bar while shouting anti-trans slurs. Outside, the police were waiting for Luca to put him in handcuffs, take his phone, and accuse him of being drunk and disorderly, claiming that he was involved in a bar fight. Luca says that he was scared but compliant throughout this encounter with law enforcement, but officers still shouted at him to stop resisting and handled him roughly, tightening his cuffs so tightly that he couldn't feel his fingers. "As the guy pushed me on the curb, he was calling me girly girl, little girl girl girl, girly girl, girl girl." Luca says they were then taken down to the police station, but were not booked. "We were asking a bunch of questions that they refused to answer. They didn't read us our rights. They just kept saying, 'Take it up in court. Take it up in court. Take it up in court.'" Ultimately, Luca ended up with $500 bond and an upcoming court hearing.

However, the state is one of seven states that have banned transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. So, had Luca been in a school, he would have been legally required to use the women's restroom. The state is also home to Representative Nancy Mace, the Republican who introduced a bill banning trans people from using bathrooms on federal property that don't match their sex assigned at birth. After the incident, Luca shared, "I'm honestly in shock. My entire body hurts. I woke up the next day and couldn't feel my fingers. I have bruises on my leg. I have a bruise on my arm. I still have anxiety rash just from thinking about it." When Luca shared his story on TikTok, people in the comments were horrified but sadly not surprised.

Luca told BuzzFeed that speaking out about what happened to them has been scary, but it's also empowering. "I'm hoping that this sheds a bit of light on the contradictions Republicans introduce when they attempt to police where trans people can/should use the restroom. I never intended to make a statement that night, but that's what it has become, and I refuse to shy away from it because of fear." Unfortunately, after this experience, Luca says he doesn't feel safe in his community anymore, and he's started a GoFundMe to pay for his legal defense and get out of the state. He told BuzzFeed that the thought of leaving his home state is "bittersweet." "I've lived in the Charleston area my entire life. I'm a country boy through and through. I grew up on a farm with my family; we all hunt, fish, and grow our food." He went on, saying, "There's a lot that I'm leaving behind. But if I want to continue to be an advocate for my community, I need to do it somewhere where I feel protected in some sense." At a time when the trans community is under attack, it's deeply important to highlight trans joy too, so Luca shared a bit about what it means to him to live as his most authentic self. "Coming out, for me, was a long process. It took so many years for me to understand the feelings I had towards my body, gender, and identity." "When I finally relinquished my fears and followed through with that one Planned Parenthood appointment I decided not to cancel, my entire world changed. I got top surgery during one of the worst times of my life — I had no caregiver and had to take care of myself. Yet, I consider the moment I saw my flat chest one of the happiest moments of my life. My transition saved my life." "Watching the image I always had of myself manifest outwardly has been enough to motivate me in countless ways. For one, I have an overwhelming desire to be a voice for trans youth everywhere. They will never erase us. This isn't about me, it's about the bigger picture. I just happen to be a part of it." Finally, he has a message for people who don't yet understand why anti-trans discrimination is such a serious issue. "I would encourage them to begin paying attention to things like this, as they affect everyone. A lot of the confusion created by the 'bathroom debate' is easily resolvable when you consider areas that utilize gender neutral bathrooms and the lack of issues like this occurring in those places. It was never about bathrooms. They don't want us to exist in public. So, we continue to exist in public. This is the only way." Looking for more LGBTQ+ or Pride content?

Pit Babe (Thai BL) – Season 2 Episode 7 Recap & Review
When it Rains… Episode 7 of Pit Babe Season 2 begins with the X-Hunter team celebrating their win at a bar. Noticeably missing are Babe and Charlie, who are still at the pit. Of course, we all know what is keeping them busy there. The others think that Babe and Charlie are making up, but they are wrong. Although Charlie is no longer angry, he wants to take some time to figure things out. In reality, Charlie simply wants to protect Babe and the team. Sadly, Babe thinks that Charlie is still mad at him and tries to coerce him to stay. Elsewhere, Willy meets with Toni to inform him that he has not been able to kidnap Charlie. Toni is unimpressed and reminds Willy that he gave him a second chance to be his perfect lap dog. He hits Willy on the face with his walking stick. In a flashback, we see Willy nearly dying in a street fight, but Toni stepped in to save him. Presently, Willy agrees to get Charlie for Toni. Back at the garage, Charlie arrives a bit late for practice and announces he is quitting the team to focus on the lab. The news catches everyone off guard, especially Alan. Later, Jeff follows Charlie to his place to get to the heart of the matter. Charlie tells him about Willy working for Toni and Toni's plan to capture him. Charlie is also concerned since Toni plans to kill everyone around him. Jeff is understanding but asks Charlie to reconsider his plans to be the lone hero. That night, Babe is unable to sleep in his house and sleeps at Alan's house. Babe begs Jeff to look into his future, but Jeff refuses. The following day, Alan goes to vent at Kim's house. Kim and Kenta try to calm him down. They notice that Alan has an injury and advise him to take it easy. Kenta gets a call from Pete, asking to meet. Once they meet, Kenta expresses his distrust in Chris, but Pete says he is not trying to replace Way with Chris. The topic turns to the data on the USB drive Kenta stole from one of Toni's buildings. According to Pete, there is a man who was captured by Toni, but he returned home mad. Kenta promises to look into it. Kim questions whether Kenta is jealous of Chris or looking out for Pete. In the meantime, Charlie goes back to Babe's place to pick up the last of his belongings. As expected, Babe is hurting, watching his man leave. He begs him to stay and tries to change Charlie's mind with kisses. Although difficult, Charlie resists Babe's tempting kisses and leaves after explaining that he loves him but needs some space. He makes sure all of Babe's details are in order and asks him not to drink too much. My heart was breaking in this scene! Meanwhile, Kim and Kenta follow up on the lead from Pete. They find the man, Kawin, who was once captured by Toni. Upon seeing them, Kawin gets scared and tries to run. They follow him and try to calm him down. However, Kawin is afraid and lashes out. Kim quickly moves to protect Kenta, and they overpower Kawin. Kawin tells them about his experience and mentions a demon snake. Even though Kawin barely said anything helpful, Kenta gets a clue from his rantings. Back at the garage, Alan announces that Dean will replace Charlie. Dean is happy to get a chance to prove himself again. On the other hand, Babe notices that Jeff is avoiding him. He corners him and asks what is going on. Jeff, unable to lie, tells Babe that Charlie is staying away to protect everyone from Toni. Babe heads straight to Charlie's house and finds him cooking. He embraces Charlie and asks him to stop resisting him. He reveals that he knows Charlie is trying to protect them, but it is not up to him to decide what to do. Babe makes Charlie promise that they will handle Toni together. Babe starts another seduction game with Charlie. You can literally see Charlie hanging by a thread. He asks Babe to leave after dinner, but Babe refuses. In fact, he heads to the shower and comes back with wet hair and only wearing a towel. He asks Charlie to dry his hair, and needless to say, things get hot and heavy quickly. I mean, Babe knows he is Charlie's weakness, and there is only so much temptation Charlie can handle! As they make sweet love on the couch, Jeff calls Charlie, but no one picks up. It turns out that soon after Jeff said goodbye to Alan, who was heading to the hospital, he had another vision. This time, Jeff starts to have a blurry vision. He attempts to drive himself to safety while calling Alan. By the time Alan picks up his call, Jeff is driving with no idea where he is. He gets into an accident, and the scene cuts to Jeff lying in a hospital bed. After their lovemaking, Charlie sees the missed call and calls back. Alan tells him that Jeff is currently in the hospital, and they rush there. Upon arriving, Jeff wakes up and seems frazzled. He tells them that he is seeing double vision. Babe, Charlie, and Alan walk outside his room to discuss Jeff's condition. Alan explains that he is supposed to have surgery for his chronic spinal compression in his neck, but that can wait. He wants to look after Jeff until the lab can figure out a way to save him. Babe advises Alan to look after himself, as he is the glue that keeps them going. All this time, Charlie sits, lost in his thoughts. The episode ends with Charlie walking into Jeff's room and siphoning his powers to save him. Jeff wakes up and tries to stop his brother. Unfortunately, it is too late, and they both pass out. The Episode Review PitBabe has done it again. This episode hit us with all the feels. From Charlie and Babe trying to fix their relationship to Jeff being overwhelmed by his powers. Of course, that sweet moment between Kim and Kenta also had us blushing. I know some of you are disappointed with Charlie for seemingly taking Babe back. However, you need to understand that after calming down, Charlie forgave Babe. Charlie's main concern right now is keeping everyone safe. At the end of the day, Charlie loves Babe and will do everything to protect him. It is sad that Charlie never puts himself first, and he should learn to. Unfortunately, in this situation, that is not his priority. One of Charlie's annoying yet noble traits is that he is selfless. As for Babe, he has probably learned his lesson. He has seen that he can't live without Charlie. This is why he is ready to give up everything to fix things with Charlie. In Africa, we have a saying that translates to – You shouldn't interfere with the business of two people who have slept under one blanket. In Charlie and Babe's case, let's roll with this for now! This episode also gave us a bit of background on Willy. Once again, Toni found a puppet to do his bidding. It is unclear why Willy seems scared of Charlie. Nonetheless, Toni is hounding him to get Charlie, and Willy is about to become another villain of circumstance. Of course, we have to circle back to why Charlie saved Jeff. This was the only way to keep Jeff safe until they found another option. So far, the skill-nullifying drug production is still ongoing. The results have been disappointing, and Jeff would have gotten worse with time. The only concern now is how these new powers will affect Charlie.
