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.

    This may have been an entirely innocent interaction, a cleaner - thinking a bloke was in the women’s said that this is the women’s. I’m sure the cleaner was embarrassed to find out that they made a mistake. I think it is blown out of proportion to fan culture wars and generate clicks. Barley newsworthy.

    I was once changing my child in the boot of my car when I had long hair and a man assumed I was a woman by “saying excuse me love, where is x”, I turned around and my beard and generally male appearance startled him and he apologised. I then told him where X was. Perhaps I should of went to the BBC and by now I could have had a published autobiography.
