I used to read about Trump supporters banning people from the bathroom of their choice and vow I would never be that mean. I would always be kind and support my LGBTQ sisters and brothers.
But trans women are trans women. They've probably grown up as men. Dealing with their own issues, of course, but not dealing with the menstruation, the body image, the sexualisation, the pressure, the double-standards, the unwanted attention, the SH*T that girls and women have been dealing with all their lives.
Trans women taking prizes, scholarships, medals, awards, spaces meant for women gives me rage. Same shit, different day. Men taking everything and leaving women nothing.
And that's a detour so now back to bathrooms...except it isn't bathrooms, is it???
It's things that should be for women but are being opened up to men at their whim:
- Women's prisons
- Women's secure/locked mental health hospital wards
- Women's hospital wards
- Women's domestic violence refuges
- Women's rape crisis support groups
- Women's sports
- Women's sports changing rooms
- Women's changing rooms in shops
And let's not forget -
- Lesbian groups
- Lesbian dating apps
One trans woman (man) means all of them. Men are either allowed in or not. I say, sorry, not.
