She explained that in her daily life, she usually ignores when people misgender her, understanding that her masculine presentation might lead to assumptions. 'If someone mistakes me for a guy, I usually just correct them or let it go,' she said. 'But this was different. This wasn’t just someone calling me ‘sir’—this was law enforcement trying to remove me from a bathroom where I had every right to be.' “I’m afraid now. It’s already enough being Black and facing discrimination. Now I have to worry about being harassed just for needing to pee?” she said.
