An androgynous lesbian who says she was assaulted in a women's washroom on a local university campus wants to educate the public about people who don't fall into traditional gender categories.
Michelle Rayner, a first-year St. Thomas University student, issued a statement Wednesday alleging that she was attacked when she was mistaken for a man in a women's washroom at James Dunn Hall on campus.
Rayner said she understands why the woman in the washroom mistook her for a man, but upon explaining she's a transgender woman, the woman punched her in the lip.
