I'm going to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. This seems like a really awful idea, albeit born from good intentions (we hope). In the past I probably would have thought it was a wonderful display of inclusivity and true equality, but now I cringe. These poor girls don't deserve this. On one hand, it blows my mind that anyone could feel so entitled and bully others like this, but on the other it's not surprising seeing men use force and make a big stink to get what they want, especially if it means they can access female spaces and bodies.

The frustrating thing is that it doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to be one side against the other. In a better world, people would be able to talk about these issues and agree on compromises. It really upsets me that there is no moderation, no compromise, no debate, no discussion.

I totally agree. There are a lot of compromises that would make trans identified people's lives a lot easier without impinging on women's rights, but they're refusing to take the middle ground. I'd be on their side if they weren't determined to step on women.

Yeah, that's how they lost my support. They're pushing away people who would otherwise be on their side. And for what? I don't think this is a winning strategy, not at all.
