The 37-year-old, who has had the hair loss condition since she was a child, said she was left shocked when a cleaner at the Trinity Square shop asked her "Are you aware you're in the female toilet?" She said she became distressed and burst into tears.

Sorry I think we are misunderstanding each other. I was talking about the UK as this is a UK specific story and community. I assumed that you were talking about the constituent countries in the UK that have different laws in your previous comment.

May I ask how it is you got here? - I am curious seeing as you're on a PieFed instance.

    My bad. I only ever really browse the top / unfiltered feed, never by community. Fediverse is small enough that there's only a few active communities and the content is fairly homogenous.

    I'm from Australia and am used to explaining to Americans in the fediverse that other jurisdictions exist I guess.

    Not sure what you mean about piefed? quokk.au is the dweeb fork of piefed I think?
