I’ve had my autonomy stripped from me so many times ever since I was young from men and we all know that men are our biggest predators, I mean even children are safer in women’s spaces. So why do we keep allowing men to dominate our spaces over and over again? We know it’s bound to cause problems! I don’t care if I seem conservative maybe I am because it’s wrong and our collective feelings SHOULD be acknowledged before the people who aren’t even sure of who they are in society!

Give me your thoughts

I completely understand why people think this type of view point could be trans phobic. But I agree, although I think you should’ve worded this differently. As someone who has dealt with essay, I feel really uncomfortable around men. So even if someone identifies as a woman, if they still have male parts, that is bound to make me feel uncomfortable. I genuinely cannot help that I feel that way, it’s just a trauma response for me.

Why ARE WE GIVING UP OUR SPACES? Simply for THEIR satisfaction? Why can’t we make a seperate restroom for them if society is so concerned instead of taking away OURS? when WE are concerned about safety!

Also there is like no way to enforce a single sex space so there is nothing you can do about it

I think it’s a completely valid concern that women don’t feel comfortable with it, which is why it’s more of an issue with the women and not men. I feel as though trans women being a women means they should have the empathy to understand. I think gender neutral bathrooms should become more normalized

Even if it wasn’t a trauma response ur still valid for feeling that way. Like I said, men are naturally our biggest predators so it’s completely understandable to feel that fear and uncertainty because of that risk factor. And that’s what I’m trying to emphasize, there should be gender neutral bathrooms instead of them pushing their way into women’s safe spaces because apparently their safety comes first in their head. I don’t know how else to get my point across if I worded it differently.

But yes I agree with you, it’s just sad that women’s concerns about safety are never taken into consideration or even taken seriously, we are always expected to keep giving up our spaces and make room for people and I’m sick of it because that’s exactly how problems arise.

Girl what? I’m a “biological woman” what the fuck are you talking about not respecting my safety? It’s not with this whole post is about? Respecting “biological women’s” safety? As a “biological woman” I don’t give a shit about trans women using the bathroom. There’s literally no way that you can regulate something like that and you have to learn to get over it. As a matter of fact, due to being gender nonconforming myself, I have been harassed in the bathroom so many different times.
