Woman experiences transphobic incident with Northern Rail worker
Eden Vickerman, a 25-year-old trans woman, was left “humiliated” after being repeatedly misgendered by a Northern Rail worker when travelling to Manchester. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Vickerman explained that when she arrived at Manchester Piccadilly, her ticket indicated that she was on the wrong train despite there being no issue with it before.She said: “When I got to the exit and they scanned it, it flagged that I was on the wrong train or something. A woman scanned it and then passed me over to two men who were working at the ticket desk.” It was then that the workers began misgendering Vickerman: “He said to me: ‘Yes, sir, you have to board that specific train’.
