Peaked a couple of years ago while arguing with /u/lividspring, a Reddit TIM. At the time I had the idea that all TIMs were the gender dysphoric HSTS who genuinely had issues, and I was only concerned about male offenders taking advantage of self ID to offend.

After being told some outright lies (like TIMs don't sex offend) and the usual bullcrap I hit Google to dig up some research.

So... Yeah.

Same offending rate as males, most don't have gender dysphoria and most are heterosexual. We are being lied too about who wants access to women's safe spaces.

Putting on a dress does not make men less likely to sex offend, who knew.

I got in an argument about this one on the other place about the bans. They claimed that if a man wanted to gte into a women's safe space, they'd be able to pass well enough that, short of genital inspections, there would be no way to know.

And that's a whole different can of worms too, isn't it? If we start asking that only transwomen that ''pass'' can use our spaces, they will insist that any woman who doesn't perform femininity up to standard should not be able to use the ladies'. That would be a disaster at a time when we're trying to push the fact that even ''tomboyish'' women are female humans, full stop, and entitled to use women's spaces.

That's why biological sex-based criteria for use of private spaces is the only way to go.

This is why gender neutral bathrooms do sorta need to become a thing. The video Blaire White (very convincing MtF) did where she tried to use male bathrooms highlights why genitals don't work for this sort of thing either.

Or create third separate space for transsexuals - but this require them to become much more than 0.04% of population.

Or, well, at least have discussion about this, some researches. And not just "now you have this law, do not complain" - regardless of what transsexuals or women want.

The ones near me just demand disabled be rebranded as disabled/trans. Infer from that what you will.

I'm really really late but I'm sorry, Blair is not "very convincing", he photoshops to hell and back, only looks vaguely kinda feminine under the controlled lighting he films with, doesn't pass at all in candids, pads his hips in the wrong place, etc. There are no TiMs that pass, they all have giant male heads, hands, etc. The head size is the best give-away. I actually think some, maybe even a lot, of men are bad at clocking them, though. So that might be why he had trouble in the men's room.

The only TiMs that can come close to passing are the male eunuchs that were castrated very early in or before puberty. Basically modern day castrati, but brainwashed by parents to live as girls instead of singing opera. And they still end up looking more like overgrown male children than actual adult women when all's said and done. Plus, they are permanently mentally and physically under-developed, basically permanently stunted in a child's body and mind, so not worth it to 'sort of pass'. Lupron should be illegal to prescribe to kids.
