Apparently, the victim might have brought this on his/herself by refusing to leave the women's rest room.
I'm female of parts...but have looked male enough in the past that people actually had an argument about it once.
And I'm pretty sure I look that male again, I get called sir all the time.
( I'm happy about it, but probably need to let my hair grow a bit for job interviews)
Which restroom would you like me to take a leak in, Spidey? Since apparently there's a possibility I might get my ass kicked in the ladies'?
Even though that's the anatomically correct room?
For people who don't fit into one or the other gender, or are transitioning, or have transitioned but don't "pass" as their true interior gender...
All have to pee and poop, and sometimes that needs to happen when out and about...
And third-gender/androgyne people are pretty much just screwed entirely, I guess? Damn, I'd better avoid drinking much water!
This is is a big problem for the transgender community, folks:

According to Sosin, 25, a resident of Edgewater, “Gender identity and expression is protected under the Illinois Human Rights Act, but everyday, countless transgender people are harassed in public restrooms for not "passing" as male or female. This policing often results in violence against gender-variant people. It can also mean health complications for those who are not allowed regular access to bathrooms.”
I mean, even a crossdresser out in public as female...if the crossdresser goes in the mens' bathroom, they may get their ass kicked. If they go in the ladies' they may get their ass kicked too, although having the cops called is far more usual.
They may end up just going behind a bush for lack of a clearly safe place to go...
Or hold it and go home early or something. All of it embarrassing and miserable.
Gender-variant people shouldn't go through an ordeal to use the toilet, alright?
