Naomi Cunningham, Sandie Peggie's lawyer at the NHS Fife tribunal, gets to the heart of it:

Ms Cunningham said: “What Sandie Peggie has done by withdrawing from changing room when you were there is opted out of immersive role play. That’s why you were angry with her.”

She added: “I want to suggest that the reason it’s not acceptable to you for one colleague to opt out, is the danger that one voice telling the truth will break its spell. It’s like the child in the Emperor’s New Clothes. That one voice saying you’re a man will break the spell.”
