How do I “present” myself as a man, as opposed to non-binary?
It’s okay to assume my gender by my facial hair, and clothes I wear? Particularly for the sake of saying that I can’t use x room, because of your assumption based on my appearance.
You're just spoiling for a fight aren't you. Yet another attack by Americans on personal identity to make sure that everyone conforms.
If you can't recognise people who present themselves as men and people who present themselves as women then there's no hope for you.
The shop assistant treated you the same as if you were a transman for example. It all came down to how you presented yourself.
There's nothing else to it.
Now if you were wearing a dress and trying to present yourself as a woman she may well have let you stay.
As for being non-binary, were you presenting yourself as non-binary?
