No one should be harassed in a public bathroom just for being themselves.
High schooler Gerika Mudra was out to dinner with a friend—just a normal evening. Until she got up to use the bathroom.
A server followed her into the women’s restroom, pounded on the stall door, and demanded she prove she belonged there. Why? Because Gerika didn’t fit someone else’s idea of what a girl “should” look like.
Scared, trapped, and humiliated, Gerika was forced to unzip her hoodie to show she had breasts—just to make it stop.
This wasn’t just wrong—it was illegal. And it’s part of a larger, dangerous trend.
