It's not a matter of social acceptance. Socially you're not accepted as a woman. I can promise you that what I and other GC women are saying is how the vast majority of women would feel if surveyed completely anonymously on the subject with the reassurance that whatever they said would never be held against them.

I think you are wrong. And if I agreed with you I would definitely have offed myself rather than transition.

This is not true. When women are forced to not use certain words and phrases because it offends trans sensibilities, that is an infringement on our rights. When women have to jump through hoops to challenge predatory males' presence in our spaces (and I do not mean most trans women) that is an infringement on our rights. When women are being pushed out of the spaces we created for our own protection by males who identify as women, that is an infringement on our rights.

I’m talking about legal rights.

If I was harassed at work by a trans woman and I reported it, I would likely be accused of being transphobic because I am seen as lower on the oppression totem pole.

Again I’m talking about legal rights. Whether someone thinks you are being a bully doesn’t mean you still can’t sue over harassment.
