On these boards, it's always that people say they have issues with safety from trans women, this is what bothers them.
Safety, same sex spaces.
This, though, it's not a safety issue at all - it literally does not affect me at all if someone wants to identify as a man.
I say let them crack on.
Doesn't make me any less of a woman. All this talk of erasure is so bizarre, I'm still me.
My identity isn't going anywhere.
You misunderstand if you think that anyone is saying all transwomen are a threat.
What is a potential threat to women is men - not all men, but enough that it's a significant ongoing risk. That's why we have sex-separated spaces in the first place.
A man who says he's a woman, isn't a woman in the sense that creates the risk. Now of course there may be a risk to trans poeple from transphobic bigots, but that's a different issue. And FWIW most people who tend to attack or beat up trans people are - men.
Even if you think that trans women are women, how do you separate them from predatory men who now know that they can enter any female space they like just by saying they are a woman?
Just like predatory male prisoners, including sex offenders, are doing RIGHT NOW to get access to women. What about women's refuges? We know that sometimes a violent man who's been dumped will go to great lengths to track down and kill his ex. Now all he has to do is say he's a woman, and he can access the refuge. What about teenage boys? They want access to girls, right? Now all they have to do is say they're a girl, and they're in the girls dorms, showers, tent on a scout camp.
Explain why this is OK please.
