These are the people claiming that "they can always tell" too.. Clowns.

Yes! So many female friends of mine with short hair have been challenged, sometimes really aggressively, in toilets and told to get out..

I don’t even have short hair, I’m just big. I’ve been confronted in bathrooms too. Even had a man follow me into the women’s bathroom shouting that I was in the wrong one.

It’s crazy.

I'm sorry that happened to you!

[-] StringTheory@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

At least I am an adult, and can handle it. This poor little girl is only 9 years old! And it didn’t happen in a private bathroom, it happened to her in front of her classmates and an entire audience watching her track meet!
