The UnWoke Show Season 3 Episode 125: She just wanted to pee: Gerika Mudra court case

In this episode, we unpack the disturbing story of Gerika Mudra, an 18-year-old biracial lesbian teen who filed a gender discrimination charge against Buffalo Wild Wings in Owatonna, Minnesota. According to the complaint, a server followed her into the women’s restroom, accused her of being male, and demanded she “prove” her gender—refusing to let her leave until she unzipped her hoodie to show she had breasts.   We explore: •  The legal implications under Minnesota’s Human Rights Act •  The broader climate of gender-based suspicion and harassment •  How stereotypes and rigid norms continue to harm queer and gender-nonconforming individuals •  What businesses must do to protect dignity in public spaces   This story isn’t just about one restaurant—it’s about the cultural fault lines we’re all navigating. Tune in for a raw, necessary conversation on identity, safety, and accountability.   Show Notes   https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/buffalo-wild-wings-bathroom-lawsuit-owatonna/   https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5450565-buffalo-wild-wings-gender-discrimination-charge-minnesota/   https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/high-schooler-claims-owatonna-buffalo-wild-wings-server-demanded-she-prove-gender     Social Media
