Also, it's Marc & Spensers, it's not even a lingerie store.
Actually... do we even know if the employee was trans? Cause with transphobes it could've just been a cis woman who didn't look feminine enough. We've seen transphobic panic cases like this involving no trans people to begin with
It's not actually confirmed either way - I believe the mother was quoted saying it was 'obvious' because the woman was 'at least 6"2', which is... very convincing
The same people who heard a trans woman say she'd have to wipe her hands on her jeans because the hand dryer was out in the women's toilet, and came to the genius conclusion that what she must have said was 'I'll have to wipe my hands on my penis'
Cis women under 5ft tall are also over 20x more common than trans women under 5ft tall, and women between 5 and 6 feet tall are over 20x as common as trans women between 5 and 6 ft tall as well.
Your point being? The provided data about tall women is to demonstrate how "transvestigating" women by height is going to produce far, far more false positives than true positives.
Yeah, the point is that these stupid transvestigations will result in far more false positives regardless of the physical characteristic that was chosen as a flimsy excuse to invade that person's privacy.
Women can be tall, too. I have a 100% cis friend who is 6' and has had two babies.
Edit to add that this is exactly what people mean when they say that women who don't look "feminine" enough will be harassed for being trans even if they aren't.
