This won't just affect people that are known to be trans, or people that are early enough in transition to not pass yet. This will also affect people who look more masculine or feminine than the average person of a specific sex, people who don't conform to gender norms.
When I was a kid, one of my classmates got harassed and bullied ceaselessly for looking masculine. The poor thing had pcos, and was very tomboyish. Maybe now some people know that pcos is an intersex condition, but I doubt that would protect her
there was a story a few days ago about a cis woman who looks masculine gettting the police called on her, because they thought she was trans.
This law will hurt more cis women than trans women.
