If a trans-identified male feels unsafe in a male facility he can simply change his appearance and voila, his "oppression" disappears.

That is not the case with women (nor with black men): we have no closet to hide in and no matter what we wear, our oppression is impossible to escape.

For instance, most women, no matter what she's wearing, can be forced to reproduce from approx. the ages of 12-50, but are often sexually assaulted/raped even before or after those ages. Women are men's prey from cradle to grave.

Trans-identified males, no matter how they feel in their heads, cannot be forced to reproduce, and again, can exit their "oppression" by a simple change of appearance.

Women fought (and are still fighting) for bathrooms in order to participate in public life. Lack of toilet access was used by men to keep women at home, in fact, it was sometimes referred to as the "urinary leash."

Bottom line: women face real risks, including the risk of forced reproduction, when men are allowed into spaces in which women and their children are naked or vulnerable. Women cannot simply change their appearance and those risks disappear.

Women (and children) are not human shields for trans-identified males who want to "live their truth."

If men want to be gender non-conforming in public, sort that shit out with other men and leave women and children alone.
