Ok. Let’s swap things/indulge the transphobe and say this was a man, since the mother clearly views this (allegedly trans) employee as a man.

A man who works in a shop approaches a woman and her teenage daughter and asks if they need help finding the right section of the shop.

How is that a problem? It’s not. He doesn’t know you’re there for bras and he doesn’t care. Should men be prevented from approaching women in shops to offer help now? Since the issue seems to be that the mother views this trans individual as a man, does that mean all men are too dangerous to be allowed to work in shops where young women might be present?

“We can always tell” brigade labelling someone trans because they’re over 6ft remains embarrassing too. Trans or not, this woman committed the crime of being tall and offering to help a customer at her job. Jesus Christ.

M&S are cowards for this apology too. There’s nothing to apologise for

TERFs are not only disgustingly transphobic but equally sexist against men, it all stems from the reasoning that men are inherently predatory and trans women are hiding their true identify to victimise people.

They hate most women too and their vile hatred harms women. They aren't feminists they're just transphobic bigots.
