The woman looks terrified, and is obvious on the receiving end of some serious verbal and non-verbal aggression. Horrible.
That's not what Charlotte says was going on. According to Clymer, although transphobes have used the image to try and 'tear her down' by claiming that the woman looks terrified, but the joke is on us, because actually that woman “was very kindly praising my work and asked for advice on trans-inclusive policies.”
So that's us told. What's the betting that Charlotte meets quite a lot of women who take on that stance, while blathering desperately about brave, stunning and do please educate me so I don't accidentally cause unintended offence as they slowly step backwards and attempt to sidle away.
