Aaaaand here it is. Nearly a decade ago, I said to my TIF former friend that this is exactly what could potentially happen if self-ID ever became a thing.

She insisted over and over that my argument was bullshit. That "you can tell if someone is just pretending to be trans." Or that "male and female symbols on public bathroom doors don't stop predators from walking in."

But that's not the fucking problem. The problem is that once self-ID is accepted, you can't QUESTION whether someone is pretending or not. They're all valid. You can't QUESTION whether a male-appearing person in a bathroom is a predator. They're all valid.

And now, you can't QUESTION whether a police officer who is literally groping your crotch could get a female officer. Because now, they're ALL valid.

I am so fucking sick of this. This is literally sexual assault.

Right? Since the suggestion that a biological female is different from any self-IDer is nearing criminality in itself, we're being cornered.

It's overwhelmingly common for people to just assume that everyone around them only has the most wholesome intentions in mind. Barring the comorbidities of mental illness that can be tied into transitioning, you're going to just have straight up people WITHOUT great intentions to try for access to vulnerable people. When anyone confronts that, ask them what the rates are for rape, sexual assualt, sexual harassment, sexual molestation, voyeurism, etc. If someone has already committed a crime like anything in those categories, what would stop them or potential future offenders from using self-ID as an easier way of access? As obviously pointed out by the fact that we have people in prisons/jails in the first place, humans are very much not all altruistic angels.

Well in Boston these naive idiots just bailed out a rapist and the rapist raped again while out on bail. But hey rapists are really oppressed marginalized people! 🤷

ETA: Corrected to say this happened in Boston, not Seattle. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/08/06/metro/sex-offender-just-set-free-by-mass-bail-fund-is-charged-with-new-violent-rape/

I think much of the woke left is made up of incredibly naive young college students/graduates who come from nice middle/upper class families with absolutely no understanding of the real world or how their ideals will be implemented within it.

They think trans people are the most oppressed minority (they just want to pee) without understanding that the bulk of TIMs are autogynaphiles, that half of all trans inmates are in prison for sex crimes, that serious mental health co-morbidities exist in a substantial portion of the trans population, and finally that the trans ideology has the fundamental flaw that it allows bad actors to use the ideology for their own purposes and no one can question them.

These same naive people don't understand that some people cannot peacefully exist in society, but unfortunately, these wokesters won't often experience the repercussions of their actions; vulnerable women and children with few resources will.
