I fucking love this post. This may be hard to believe but I actually had this exact debate with a TRA a DECADE ago. I'm serious, a fucking DECADE ago.
I was asking her about how, if anyone can be trans with no hormones or anything, and trans women are women and should be allowed in women's bathrooms, what's to stop a man from just walking into a women's bathroom to be a creep and saying he's a trans woman?
She responded... that no man would ever do that because being trans is too painful, so no one would ever pretend to be trans.
By coincidence a story had recently been in the news about some man who hid in literal sewers to look up women's skirts or something, so I asked her how the fuck she can believe a man would lie down in human feces to abuse women, but wouldn't simply walk into a room and say he's trans?
I'd love to tell you all her response but she blocked me.

"no man would ever do that because being trans is too painful, so no one would ever pretend to be trans."
Wow..the ignorance is blinding. How sheltered a life does a woman have to live, to have no concept of the lengths men will go to harass and abuse women? How could she not instinctively understand why this is a bad idea?
Something I noticed with these types of women activists is that they usually fit into a certain box: Middle or upper middle class. College educated, typically in the social sciences or humanities. Often white, and always liberal or left-leaning. Also tend to have a massive saviour complex.
In comparison to the majority of women on this planet, these women have had relatively easy lives. Especially in the sense that being a woman wasn't something that had a disproportionately negative effect on on their life. Their reality and lived experience as a woman is so vastly different than your typical third-world country woman living in poverty, they may as well be living on a different planet.
