Nobody does this. This is a boogeyman scenario and it's just stupid. I welcome all trans women into women's restrooms. They deserve to be safe. Trans-women are way more likely to get hurt and beat up just for existing, than cis-women are likely to be stalked by a predator pretending to be a trans-woman in a bathroom.

Aimee Toms had recently donated her hair to cancer patients. The woman verbally assaulting her in the bathroom thought that Toms, wearing a baseball cap over her short hair, was transgender.

A 20-year-old trans man was attacked over July 4 weekend for using the women’s restroom at a campground — after being instructed to use the women's restroom. He was charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing official business; his attackers have not been charged with anything at this time.

The nation’s leading organizations dedicated to stopping violence against women signed a letter saying that this argument is a myth. “These initiatives utilize and perpetuate the myth that protecting transgender people’s access to restrooms and locker rooms endangers the safety or privacy of others,” the letter states. “As rape crisis centers, shelters, and other service providers who work each and every day to meet the needs of all survivors and reduce sexual assault and domestic violence throughout society, we speak from experience and expertise when we state that these claims are false.”

I think they were talking about the fact that witch hunts for trans women in bathrooms has inevitably lead to cis women who don't appear gender conforming being attacked. But it is true, the bathroom predator assertion is a myth.

Yeah, but do you actually care what cis-women want?

There are plenty of cis-women out there who don't want biological men in their bathrooms. What about them? Are you advocating for denying women their own private, intimate space?

Cis women are being attacked if they don't look female enough to terfs. So how about this; mind your business and I'll mind mine.

Excuse me, what exactly is intimate about pissing in a public toilet.

Lol nice job with the terf rhetoric. There’s no such thing as “biological man” man is a descriptor for adult male, which begs the question; at what point does someone become a man? The day they turn 18, or based on development, and at what point then? If based on the day they turn 18, then that’s not very biological as bodies develop at different rates, it would be social. Man is a social category and cannot be biological. Either way, I highly doubt you give a fuck what cis women want, you just want to be transphobic.

Biological man means that you have XY chromosome pairings, testes, a penis, and a prostate.

Biological woman means that you have XX chromosome pairings, ovaries, uterus, vulva, vagina, clitoris, etc.

To say that there’s “no such thing as a ‘biological man’” is just… not rooted in reality. Yes there is. Just as there are biological women. Chromosomes matter. Sex traits matter. Being a ‘man’ or a ‘woman’ is not a social category - it comes down to genetic expressions of physical characteristics. Your DNA, chromosome pairings, and genetic traits make up your physical vessel. That isn’t a ‘social construct’ or whatever you’d want to call it.

I’m not a “transphobic” person, either. I’ve met and got along with plenty of people who identify with being transgender. And you know why? Because they agree with what I’ve laid out.

People like you are so wrapped up in virtue signaling and so-called social justice that you have lost track of what the real world actually is. Best of luck to you out there. Crack open an anatomy book some time and maybe some books that explain puberty - you may learn something.

🥱 anyways, intersex people exist, and always have. My high school text book mentioned intersex, sorry you're a dinosaur and don't know modern medicine. I've done my attempt to educate

I am a cis-woman... Yes, I care about what I think about this.

No cis-women I know care about this. It's a right wing taking point that has no basis in reality.
