I think it's a mix of trans women, women who know trans women that they trust, and honestly a lot of naive (probably mostly young) women who drank the Kool-Aid without thinking too hard because they've been lucky enough to avoid being victims of male violence and perversion.

I have young acquaintances who genuinely think it's silly to assume that male perverts would self ID their way into women's spaces for sexual gratification or to harm women. Their optimism leads me to believe that they've never had run ins with the wrong sort of men. Great for them of course, but the blind optimism is worrying.

There are still people who think all trans women are 'sad gay men' who would never,ever harm women , they just hate being men so much that they want to be women . Seriously. I found out a few weeks ago that my own husband was one of them. WAS.

I know I've had some friends IRL who thought that who have peaked after digging into the situation (with some guidance from me) after the JK Rowling thing blew up.

Personally, I do think that feminine gay men and trans women need more protection from male violence in some places. Like. Feminine gay men or men who have taken hormones to develop breasts or gotten implants or whatever SHOULDN'T just get tossed to the wolves in a men's prison, or male shelters with high risk places like group shelters, or wherever. If someone like Blaire White got tossed in with a bunch of men I think we all know what would happen, and that's sickening.

However, the fix to it shouldn't be to toss biological men with all the male violence and dicks and bigger stronger bodies into women's prisons and women's shelters etc to protect them from other men.
