Re: Thoughts

And that gets known as 'passing privilege' (which given my comparatively short height and slight build, I have) as though it were a privilege to be who you are. Due to the assumptions I mention tall or homely cis women are at risk from being insulted by complete strangers.

Thankfully, the law here in the UK now provides trans women with the same basic rights as cis women so many of the issues around things like loos simply don't occur, although I have been around long enough to remember the days of being an Orwellian 'unperson' all too well.
