I would say you're absolutely not being irrational. While I have not experienced sexual trauma and have no reason to fear or feel distrustful of men on sight, I definitely have a problem with a man who thinks he can get into single sex spaces just by saying he's a woman.

I've definitely started feeling even more strongly about this since seeing people correcting people for misgendering rapists. "Yes this person did a horrible thing but we shouldn't misgender". Uhm if this was a man who identifies as a man, they wouldn't care a bit and would even be calling for his death but since it's a delusional man who thinks he's a woman suddenly they need to be treated with respect? Nah, a rapist is a rapist. Even if it's disrespectful to misgender (I don't think it is), why, WHY would you feel it's appropriate to correct it on a post or article about rape? He's not the victim here, he's the perpetrator.

I really hope their willingness to defend and force people to respect the delusions of rapists will only serve to peak more people.
