Not if they are based on trans status instead of self-identification. Gay rights don't interfere with women's rights, unless gay men started insisting that they are women & therefore shouldn't have gay rights, but women's rights.

Making single-sex spaces unisex would defeat the purpose of single sex bathrooms. There would only need to be one unisex bathroom. The men's room is already equipped with facilities that accommodate trans-womxyn's biology.

World Rugby found that trans-womxyn's inclusion in the high-contact sport increased the risk of injury to female players. Caitlyn Jenner won gold in the men's decathlon, so there is no reason why trans-women can't play in men's sports. Sports are single-sex, not ideologically-affirming playgrounds.

The real question is can trans-womxyn be gay men? The real question is why is homosexuality overrepresented in the trans population? Trans-womxyn who are attracted to women should be content with calling themselves gynaephiles, because straight women are statistically more likely to date them, meaning if you start terming trans-womxyn as lesbians, then their straight gfs have to also be called lesbians or bisexual. Lesbians who are willing to date transpeople are more likely willing to date trans-men than trans-womxyn, meaning that you'd have to start calling these lesbians bisexual as well. Why re-name the whole world to accommodate the religious beliefs of a tiny minority? There are trans-women who recognise that trans-women are men.

Sex is biology, gender is sociology. Sex is nature, gender is nurture. Sex is innate, gender is cultural. Sex is male/female, gender is masculinity/femininity. Sex & gender are different, trouble is 'gender' is not a synonym for "preferred sex". Gender is a term axiomatic in sociology & other relevant disciplines & is determined by gendered socialisation. Our up-bringing is gendered & our resulting behavioural patterns are concordant with the gender we were inculcated with. In short, trans-womxyn's gender & sex match, because their sex was known to their parents. We are socialised according to our sex, not our preferred sex. Trans-women received the upbringing that a male infant received & lack the upbringing that a female one does.

Trans-womxyn & men share the same gender identity & trans-men & women share the same gender identity, hence why the male sex commits more crimes than the female sex, regardless of how they identify, likewise 2-3x more members of the female sex report having attempted suicide than the male sex, regardless of how they identify. Why are trans-womxyn behaving like men & trans-men behaving like women? Because like "cis" people, their gender identity is sex-congruent due to their conditioning.

Gender can refer to: gender identity, gender roles, or act as an umbrella term for masculinity & femininity. The trans movement uses it to refer to self-identification/preferred sex, for some inexplicable reason. They insist it does not refer to gender expression, but they can't define what they mean by gender. They sometimes even say that it's biological, which would contradict the statement "sex & gender are not the same thing".

Trans-womxyn's male sex is unambiguous, they were socialised accordingly & follow sex-congruent behavioural patters, like the ones I mentioned earlier, they also benefit from male privilege. There is nothing within the icd-11, or queer theory or any other academic source that even claims that trans-womxyn are women, let alone proves that they are.

Genuine transphobia isn't even transphobia, it's often homophobia, but more accurately it's GNC-phobia, which affects more people than just trans people, like gay people & a substantial number of GC feminists. GNC-phobia is also one of the major root causes of homophobia. Genuine "transphobes" don't differentiate between trans people & GNC people. It's the GNC aspect they have a problem with.

Cis privilege doesn't exist, at least not for women. "Cisgenderism" is clearly androcentric. It refers to the comfort that most men feel within their gender, this is not the case for most women, hence why the vast majority of detransitioned people are female.

Ethnic minorities, sex workers, homosexuals & GNC individuals are more vulnerable to male violence.

I don't have to define any of those terms, since science & dictionaries do that for me. My unique definitions would be invalid. Female is defined as the sex that produces ova & male produces sperm. Woman refers the female sex who are a) human & b) adults. Woman isn't a gender, since a feral child, brought up by wolves, with no concept of gender, is still a woman when she reaches the age of maturity. 'Femininity' is the correct term for the gender associated with women. There are femboys who saturate themselves in feminizing gender indicators & there are butch lesbians who do anything but, however, their gender non-conformity is just superficial. Both still behave concordantly with their respective demographics. Gender expression or gender roles are performative, but gender identity is a social condition, like any other social identity/demographic.

Good article about that: https://womansplaceuk.org/gender-neutral-toilets-dont-work-for-women/

Trans-womxyn who are attracted to women should be content with calling themselves gynaephiles

But what about the million other genders?
