I agree that men's spaces are more dangerous, but:

1- Disabled men, old men, and other groups of men are also at a higher risk in men's spaces and yet they are not seeking refuge in women's spaces. So, why "transmen" would do it if they are "real men" as they claim?

2- It's inconsistent with their own ideas. We're constantly told that sex is irrelevant and we should take "gender identity" into account instead. Females claiming to be "men" will go as far to put their health into risk, e.g. by changing their sex to "male" into medical records and expecting to be treated as "males". Yet when they want it, suddenly, "gender identity" is not as important and they don't mind sharing spaces with women.

Old and disabled men arent nearly at the risk of visibly gay and other non-het men. Doesn't excuse it, but it is something to keep in mind that in some parts of the world that kind of presentation will actively put you im danger in intimate spaces.

Not contesting, just wondering how you found that out? The risk levels I mean.

Just assuming tbh. Found this after a couple seconds of googling, doesn't list age as far as I can tell but since disability is less than 5% that of sexual orientation, I think it's a safe assumption. Take it with a grain of salt though, obviously.

Edit: oops, link might help huh

Most assaults aren't federal hate crimes.
