We don’t want transwomen in our spaces because they are male. Sex might not matter to you, but it does to others. Sex is the strongest predictor we have for safety. The fact that women occasionally commit violent acts does not make them an equal risk to men, who commit at least 90% of violent and/or sex crimes.

Choosing to treat this like it’s incomprehensible will not convince others to ignore the reality of being female.

Transwomen might be catcalled or whatever, but they do not experience the vast majority of sexism aimed towards women. They are raised on male socialisation and are given all the benefits of being visibly male.

Pretending that transgender people pass amazingly well and that we are lying when we say what we can see will not change that. Males are raised like boys. No amount of feminising surgery or hormones or vocal training will undo the formative years of the persons entire personality.

Why do women not have the right to sex segregation in your eyes? Is it unkind? Unfair? What reason to you have to believe women should not be able to seperate themselves from males?

Just a reminder, I use men to refer to natal males and women to refer to natal females exclusively and that will not change. Try to focus on what I’m asking and not the wording you like and dislike.
