Yes, this part particularly annoyed me too
it also opened up the possibility of increased harassment of women in public restrooms who weren’t transgender but who didn’t dress or present in a ‘feminine’ way
I am the same height and weight as the average man, I’ve previously had very short hair and I used to wear men’s jeans and baggy t-shirts because it’s not always easy to get the right leg length, I have never ever been mistaken for a man.
I used to work with a woman who was 6ft5in and built like a rugby player, no one could have mistaken her for a man because women’s bodies are different to men’s. The way the hips move when we walk, the size and shape of the thighs, the more delicate appearance of the hands, fingers and jaw line, the smaller forehead, narrower waist and shoulders.
AND quite frankly I’d be happier to be mistaken for a man and say I’m a woman actually, than to be sexually assaulted by a predatory man in a public loo, if those are my only two options!
