Whatever toilets you had access to, it’s still true that most men won’t and didn’t harm you. That’s literally what we’ve been going back and forth about

Enough do.

If “enough” did, there’d be no TW walking around regardless of what public spaces you occupy. If that many men get that aggressive, upset and violent just over your presence, they’d kill each and every one of you, or at least infinitely more attacks and murders would occur. The fact is, the vast majority of men dgaf, they may make ignorant even hurtful comments about TW or not be open to dating you, but they don’t want to actively cause you harm.

And no amount of you basically saying “yeah huh they do! It’s impossible to prove and data shows otherwise but yeah huh they totally do” is going to make what I just said false. You can’t just claim it, you have to prove it. You haven’t done that.

If enough men wanted to hurt TW, they would. They don’t need you to be in the same bathroom as them to do so. Women have their own spaces, women get killed, beaten, raped and otherwise attacked by men much more often than TW.

Predators thrive on opportunity to hurt people. Bathrooms and lockers rooms are ideally suited to let them hurt us easily and with the least possible consequence.

And yet here you are telling a vulnerable group (women) that we should let men (transwomen) into our bathrooms.

Transwomen aren’t men. When I say men are monsters I’m not including trans women.

Transwomen are men. Your personal definition of men and women does not change what males and females are. Man refers to adult human male, woman refers to adult human female.

All transwomen are adult human males, ergo, men. What subjective values you choose to place on these definitions is up to you, but don’t expect the rest of us to follow your personal language.

It’s not my personal language. Lots of people include trans women in their definition or women. It’s definitionally jot personal because many people use it.

Lots of men choosing to misrepresent their sex doesn’t change the definition either.

Language is a collective act so a bunch of people using a new definition does change the language. That’s how language works.

And yet women still get murdered by men much more frequently than TW do. Which means somehow, someway, men who want to hurt women have always been able to find a way. So again- if they wanted to harm TW, bathrooms aren’t the be all and end all. They’d find a way.

I’m not convinced that’s true. The data problems I’ve already talked about.

They do and they do. Bathroooms and locker rooms are just perfect storms of making it easy.

Oh! My bad. I guess if you’re not convinced that’s all it takes to make that statement incorrect lol

Population count alone would make that a true statement but even if we account for the known population of TW- this is a true statement and it’s so incredibly shitty to pretend it’s not. Even if it’s not true, it would still not okay that TW do get murdered sometimes. You don’t have to deny the truth to make your point. God I wish I was qt sometimes just to argue your side for you because my god you guys need help lol

I don’t know why you think saying “nah I disagree” means anything. That’s not an argument or disproving/proving anything.

The point is still that despite having protective measures in place, men consistently find ways to harm and kill women. Whether it’s done at the same rate or higher/lower than TW is a secondary point and you know it

[–]circlingmyownvoid2 1 insightful - 5 fun1 insightful - 4 fun2 insightful - 5 fun -  (1 child)

And that’s a reason to not bother with protective measures for trans women.
