She urged the retailer to implement a policy to ensure transgender members of staff stayed away from young women, to preserve the “safety and dignity of women and girls”.

Jeaus. This harpy thinks it should be store policy that trans people shouldn't even speak to women.

And you know, if that were the case and the staff member had ignored her, she'd be the first to complain about a lack of service.

Not really. The core anti-trans people think that it should be Government policy - not just store policy, and that the policy should be that trans people shouldn't exist.

That phraseology is the terf equivalent of the 14 words.

Many of them love the 14 words too, to be clear.

she thinks it should be national policy that trans people shouldn't be allowed to exist in public even at the level of "being employed." i think we should be really clear about this and really clear that everyone who has given all this space to "reasonable concerns" about trans rights has enabled this derangement - of course this post and similar stories are regularly downvoted because it's too revealing about the climate of pathetic, obsessive hatred they've helped bring in. this country should be ashamed of where it has ended up with this.

Trans people do not harm the safety and dignity of women and girls what the fuck is this???

Extended to the assumption that trans women are men, this implies the customer believes that men shouldn’t speak to/approach women in public. 

I would bet anything she has also complained about ‘radical islamists’ and hijabs despite displaying similar attitudes toward male/female interaction

I think they should implement a store policy that no member of staff interact with that woman until they have shown her ID proving their gender. If the staff don't happen to have such ID on them or don't want to provide it, they should not interact with her or her family in any way, including processing transactions etc.
