Perhaps if trans women who are pre-op did not take anti-androgens that chemically castrate them - impotence being one of the first effects, followed by atrophy - then some cisgendered women's fears might not be groundless.

If there had ever been even a single case of a trans woman sexually assaulting another woman in the 33 years that such legislation has been in place, or amongst the 38% of the population where such laws are in place, then perhaps they may have a point.

I can understand the fear if they're not aware of these facts. I do feel that before denying others rights though, they should make at least a small effort to inform themselves.

And to realise that some Intersexed women with CAH with masculinised genitalia have always used female facilities, long before transsexual transition was possible.

As if we don't live in a rape culture where the threat of sexual violence is very real for women.

On the other hand, a lot of them are NRA members stocking up on firearms in order to secede from any Union that treats all faiths, genders and colors equally.

I keep a full tank of gas in the car, just in case these loons actually ever get their way.

Do they really want trans guys in their bathrooms? I've seen some pretty burly manly looking trans guys. I guess if vag is all that's needed, that dumb bitch can put up with big burly guys in the bathroom.

Yanno, I can't find a single damn case where a trans woman has raped a cis woman in a bathroom. Not a single damn one. And we use girl bathrooms all the time for our bathroom business.
