Non-binary Russian Doll actor sues NYC hotel after being ‘forcibly removed’ from women’s restroom

A non-binary actor known for playing characters across the gender spectrum was “forcibly removed” from a hotel bathroom by a security guard who unlawfully barged into the stall they were using and demanded they leave immediately, according to a state civil rights lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
