Women’s bathrooms and other female specific spaces- why should/shouldn’t TW and women share those spaces?

Single occupancy spaces are best but absent that, trans women in women’s maximizes overall safety.

I don't think this is true for either women or transwomen. We know it's less safe for women but there are also way more reports of transwomen being physically attacked because they used the women's bathrooms than there are because they went into the men's. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for evidence?

Men won’t come into women’s rooms to attack us. That means it will be attacks in public as opposed to the isolated space of a bathroom. That’s safer. There’s room to run and the possibility of someone helping. That’s not true in a men’s room.

Trans women by and large don’t use mens rooms because they are death traps. That’s why their aren’t many reports. We know better and those who are stupid enough to will never call the cops.

I personally was attacked in a men’s room the last time I used one. I didn’t report it because I wasn’t in need or emergency help and you don’t trust cops.
