A fellow transgender rights activist ran a training scenario on fairness in the workplace where he demanded of a coworker: "I need to know what's in your pants! How can I continue working with you on this project with you unless I know what's in your pants?!"
The scenario cued laughter and learning -- learning about what it's like for transgender people to be subjected to rude speculation and questioning about their genitals, often without any apparent consciousness that doing so is invasive, upsetting, and entirely unnecessary.
