Sure, I agree harassment is wrong. I don’t agree that it is harassment to calmly question a male presence, or to expect that males will afford a modicum of respect for female rights and spaces.

Frankly I find it hard to believe that the average woman is intimidating or threatening to a male, even one who has been on hormones for a long time.

Personally I can say that I will tolerate the presence of a transwoman who is minding their own business. I understand that there is no good option when there is no space made for someone. My displeasure is not harassment or harmful to them. My discomfort is not intimidation or a threat. Their maleness is intimidating to me however. Should that be taken into account or should it be put aside for the comfort of others?

That isn’t harassment to me either. When I say, “existing in the world” I don’t mean in sex-segregated or private spaces.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Just sitting on a train or buying groceries or idk just existing in public is a right I wouldn’t want taken from anyone but dangerous convicted criminals. If someone is just walking around or whatever it’s totally out of line to say anything other than maybe hello.
