I never made a change. Trans women have been using women’s rooms for as long as I’ve been alive.

And nobody ever made sure women had safe spaces away from any type of male.

So women are not somehow now responsible for making sure you have somewhere safe to pee. That’s how that works.

I dunno how old you are, so I don't how long that goes back to. But in most places, it's only been within the current century that TW have been able to use girls' & women's restrooms with the protection of the law; with the backing of school, workplace, retail establishment, venues and other public facilities' policies; and with the support of the wider culture. Places like NYC changed its local code to make it illegal to have female-only restrooms in 2002, but in most places the changes are much more recent - in the past decade, and especially the past few years.
