That's great. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But just because they are okay with it doesn't mean they should expect all women to be okay with it.

Right but I think it gets awkward when you're outnumbered by women who think that TIMS have the right to be the women's restroom. Like I remember in the year when I hit my peak trans, I remember asking my female coworkers at work about how they felt about TIMs using the women's restroom and they said they didn't mind (It was all 3 of them). lol Of course at the time, I didn't think about going further and asking them that if they had daughters, would they feel safe knowing there's a Tim in there with them though I feel like they probably would just say they wouldn't mind

The question is: do they really think that TIMs have the right to go in the women's restroom, or do they just say that because they're afraid of what people will think of them?

I REALLY feel it's the latter. I'm more than certain that deep down a lot more women don't want TIMs in their restrooms but because women are expected to put others before themselves and any source of non-compliance results in them getting harassed and demeaned (Look at JK Rowling, Magdalen Berns, Posie Parker, etc), they feel that they need to keep quiet about their true feelings. I think it's only when you bring children into it do some of them budge a bit.
