I’m guessing there’s a lot more to this story.

Complicit and antagonistic law enforcement.

It's a solid default assumption. Remember the trans guy who went out of his way to try to make the 'phobes happy and asked the owner of a gas station which bathroom to use, went to the women's as directed, got the shit kicked out of him by a bunch of ignorant people, and then got arrested?

No amount of capitulation to the 'phobes is ever going to protect us. Appeasement never works. Trans people have to be militant in pursuit of trans rights; the world will not deliver them by default.
