As a non-binary gendered (both in terms of how I feel and how I look) but female/woman person, I'm really worried about being publicly harassed/excluded for not performing a feminine enough appearance.
Screenshot of text: The court was also explicit about a further striking anomaly. Using the example of group counselling for female victims of sexual assault, it said that trans women can reasonably be excluded; but it also said that trans men can be excluded “because the gender reassignment process has given them a masculine appearance”.
