“Here’s the thing with women’s bathrooms. When I transitioned 20 years ago, no one felt entitled to go in with a full beard. No one was scrawling, “a trans woman peed here,” on the walls. We understood that we needed to do the work to pass and not make women feel unsafe.
Progressive politics have destroyed the sense that trans women need to be discrete. If you are not on a medical pathway, and you have not done the basic work to blend, you are not ready to use the ladies.
And frankly, if you don’t understand why it’s important to not make women feel unsafe - you have not transitioned enough mentally and processed male privilege.
But here’s the opposite problem. The gender critical extremists are trying to say no trans woman should be in the ladies room. And that’s just as hateful and disruptive.
It’s obvious if you think about it, but men get weird if they are attracted to trans women. They sometimes get very aggressive and violent. Acting like none of us ever make more sense in the ladies room is just silly. The policy TERFs want will get us beaten and raped.
And frankly, I don’t want to out myself causing a spectacle every single time I need to pee. There is ample discrimination against trans women, and all this would do is ruin my life
Both sides need some common sense here. Trans people need to start policing our own communities, and the moral panic about trans women needs to be in proportion to the actual issue.
As it is, the discussion is creepily reminiscent of the “whites only” bathrooms of the Jim Crow South. As if it’s so unbelievably offensive to pee next to someone that looks like me.”

“Used the bathroom in Florida yesterday (crime). Some super pretty Latina women were tweaking their makeup at the mirror and one stops me to go, “I hope I can say, you are gorgeous!” And I responded that I was just thinking about how gorgeous they were.
And so I stopped and chatted a few minutes. I shared some setting spray and learned a lipstick layering trick.
I think it’s really silly to say trans women are a threat to women and should use the men’s.”
Then in that same thread is this:

“It’s not reasonable to take away my access to society based on this. Some Black people commit rape. That didn’t justify segregation in the a South, a policy justified in the name of protecting white women.”
And then

“There are some valid policy complaints. But directionally, the is a project about hate. The dehumanization literally eclipses the issues at hand.
We are suffering exponentially more. A beautiful college girl just committed suicide from this hate mob.”
This is a man who ignores female people’s needs and boundaries.
It is not a ‘moderate’ position to ignore female people’s needs and boundaries by saying that it should be ok if someone ignore those in a way that didn’t bring attention to them doing so.
Or is this the position that is considered as moderate and acceptable now? The ‘you didn’t know so you were not harmed’ type of dismissal of lack of consent.
