Harassment (work-related gendered violence) of LGBTIQ+ people in the workplace

The following is from p. 5 of the 24 page WorkSafe Victoria brochure "Work-related gendered violence including sexual harassment", at  https://content.api.worksafe.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-03/ISBN-Work-related-gendered-violence-including-sexual-harassment-2020-03.pdf, in a section giving examples of work-related gendered violence:
A transgender woman overhears coworkers complaining about her using the women’s toilets.

On the copyright of that brochure, note the following:

I am providing the above information to promote the prevention of work-related gendered violence. The brochure goes on to provide information on the effects of such violence (including using the term pansexual), and measures to prevent the occurence of such violence against all affected groups.

One of the case studies addresses the situation of abuse of a lesbian, and one addresses the abuse - through misgendering and deadnaming - of a trans man.

The world has come along.
