For anyone confused the free part is sorta not the point. Its about the environment being friendly but since its not a for profit the clothes are also free. My first thought was are transgender/nonbinary poorer than average that they need free clothes but once I read it I get its more about doing it in a comfortable environment. The article does not say but I would hope they have a donation jar or something so that those more well off could put something in to help it help the less fortunate.
At least in America, the answer to this is still largely yes. People still get kicked out of their homes or denied opportunities due to their gender identity all the time
There's also being uncomfortable/unsafe with legal documents. If your legal docs haven't been changed (or are impossible to change) then your employer can see all of that and can discriminate accordingly (especially in states that do not provide protection from discrimination based on gender identity). And legal documents are used for more than just that as well. I find myself avoiding things like voting, using my bank card, and looking for higher paying employment opportunities because they're all tied to legal docs and open up an opportunity (real or perceived) for discrimination. And don't get me started on the cost of treatment...
