The use of motorway services in this image really underlines this is about excluding people from public life. When you stop at a motorway services, you're on your way somewhere else. It's the most banal space possible. Now we'll all have to check we conform to gender stereotypes in order to pee.
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

I can't believe we're having to have these fights in the 2020s. No serious highways authority should be proposing endless bypasses over green belt as a solution to congestion, let alone when a Climate Emergency has been declared by the council.
The draft GM 2050 Transport Strategy is out. It's 272 pages so forgive the focus on one detail.
In the map of long-term transport priorities, two ancient road schemes just won't die. The A6–M60 bypass and, somehow, the Disley and High Lane Bypass, which has been dead 30 years.

Investing in cycling to address the housing crisis? That's exactly what the Dutch government is going to do!
€2.5 billion is being invested to make housing projects accessible. A large portion of this will go towards cycling infrastructure, such as continuous cycle routes. 👌
