I wonder if the gender-free will experience scrutiny when they are travelling through passport control, or get questioned in public toilets as these are still quite gendered spaces & although the binary is a fiction, most people, still, are recognizably on it.

That's your experience. I'm routinely read as a young man or as a what's that. I'm female. I think you really underestimate how rigid gender norms are & how quickly ppl make snap judgements about others based on v basic stereotypical outward gender cues.
Yes I agree people make snap judgements based on gender norms. But my point is people also read sex (and then bundle it up with gendered expectations) in the absence of *any* external gendered clothing cues...

... So the idea that women who are routinely read as female, must be putting on a some external form of gendered expression also does not work.
