Also- just because I don’t think Blaire White should be in female spaces doesn’t mean he won’t be allowed to be.

So… if BW is going to be allowed in regardless of how I or any other woman or girl may feel, I’d for sure like to at least know that at the very least, most men won’t be allowed that access.

This is why the distinction I’m making (and that tras want to erase) matters.

If you’re willing to accept the idea that anyone who cries trans is trans, how do you justify not accepting when TW claim to be women, or TM claim to be men?

Again, the beliefs that these people who haven’t and won’t transition have that allows them to actually think of themselves as trans are the same beliefs that many people who have/will/are in the process of transitioning accept and that many people who call themselves cis accept. So it’s not the being trans thats the mental illness. It’s the mentality. That’s my point.
