Do you think the vast majority of men would say you're not entitled to use the men's restroom?

I can’t speak to percentages but certainly enough that it’s not safe for me to be there.

I think almost all of them would say you're entitled to be there, but I also don't think your concern for your safety is unwarranted. That's why I support third spaces.

You can’t say they would say we are entitled to be there while attacking us. That makes no sense.

Almost all men are not going to be the ones attacking you. If you ask them, "do you think a natal male is entitled to be in a men's restroom?" overwhelmingly they would say "yes."

You would be entitled to be there because it's a place for natal male people, regardless of how gender nonconforming they are.

That’s blank conjecture. You would get many no’s and many “why would they”s

I'm sure you'd get a lot of "why would they," but I don't think you'd get very many saying "no."

However, since I don't have an actual study comprised of men's responses to show as proof, I agree it's conjecture. Understand I'm not saying you should have to use a men's restroom, only that you are entitled to. I can completely understand why you would not want to.
