July 2016. Norway introduces a new law which means anyone can change their "legal sex" on paper, simply by filling in a form. (1)
Also in July 2016, at a fitness centre in a Norway. A woman is having a shower when a man walks in to use the women's showers. The woman is uncomfortable and after getting dressed she asks the man why he was using the women's shower. He replies that he's legally a woman. (2)
Feb 2017. The woman & man again "meet" in the women's changing area at the gym. As she's already asked management & been told that anyone with male genitalia should use the men's changing area, she asks the man if he's been given permission to use the women's showers (3)
The man shouts at her "What the fuck is your problem! This is non of your fucking business!" After this they both speak to the management and later on the centre replies in writing saying they now allow men who are legally women in the women's changing area. (4)
The man felt the woman had harassed him by questioning why he was in the women's changing area and by referring to him as a biological man in a meeting with the centre management. He sues her for harassment, based on his "sex identity and sex expression. (5)
The woman was just cleared of the harassment accusations. She should never have had to go through what she did, for questioning why a man was showering next to her in the women's changing rooms. (6)
This is the case review (in Norwegian). I've translated and will share but try Google translate in the meantime.
