So really, there’s zero way to tell a transwoman apart from a man there to plant a camera or something else heinous

There's no way to tell for sure, I agree.

You keep saying for sure, as if there’s a method that’s reliable enough. Is that method passing?

Cause passing is subjective and frankly a lot of transgendered people seem to take not being outright called out as trans as passing. What if someone passes to you but not me? Are they safer for you than me then? I really don’t see how passing is any indicator a male is sage to be around.

‘It sounds unlikely that someone would do that’ isn’t really convincing imo.

My point is: passing partially works. It can keep out self-id abusers and trendy queers. It can not account for trans predators. So no, its not an ideal indicator and I'm not advocating for it as policy. I personally wouldn't care about sharing bathrooms with passing trans people, but I realize a lot of women do care and have good reason to. Hope that clears things up.

Ok so you were only speaking for yourself and not actually answering my question? Cool. It’s really no clearer without clarifying the parts I asked about that confused me.

Passing doesn’t work at all logically but you’re free to believe it does, of course.

In regards to my actual question, you’re saying there’s no way but passing works well enough? That’s an interesting take. Thanks for responding.

I wasn't trying to give a definitive answer, I was just putting my thoughts out there. Sorry, I guess I didn't understand your question. Have a nice day.
