I like the comment below that consent is not transferable. "My privacy is not yours to give away." My experience, however, has been that these people generally are not people who can be convinced. They are men, or they are women in good financial situations who are at little risk of themselves or their daughters being placed in a dangerous situation. As long as they get theirs, they don't really care about vulnerable women. When you question them a little about their reasoning, you discover that in their hearts, they consider a woman who can't fight off a (larger) man, or who is afraid to walk home alone late at night, or who has any kind of debilitating female problem, or is physically unattractive, to be unworthwhile people who don't deserve to have safety. If such women would only improve themselves to be worthy of good lives, then they wouldn't need stupid things like sex-segregated spaces.

Sorry to be so cynical.

Remind them that it's not just one man, but gangs of men, who can access women's spaces unhindered. Also that there are children in women's locker rooms and women's shelters - including babies.

And tell them that it's entirely possible that they will get a male TSA screener, so will their grandmother.

If they don't care about that, then I hope they do get a male TSA screener, or are alone naked in a locker room with a big swinging dick. But not their grandmother. She deserves better. She should disinherit the little shit.

It's okay, I understand your cynicism and I've noticed this too. It does tend to come from more privileged women who are tone deaf to the world around them and the reality is like for women who aren't as privileged have to deal with. I wish there was a way to fucking peak these women or at least have some more worthwhile ways to try to get them to see the bigger picture. Normally talking about children can help because no parent wants their child to get harmed but these women usually send their children to private schools and whatnot so there's not much of a chance of them having to worry about uncouth behavior.
