The same arguments were employed against gay people, anecdotes were shared to polarise people against us, 'research' found that gay people were more predatory etc etc. All the same things that happened then are happening now. Plenty of people thought gay rights impinged on their rights to be safe etc, plenty of straight men didn't want gay men in the men's bathrooms, plenty of people thought gay men shouldn't have right to enter certain professions etc etc
So you are using the argument that some men didn't want gay men in their toilets to make women who don't want men in their toilets look bigoted and phobic?
There is no difference between a straight man, a gay man and a man with a gender identity. All are entitled to use male facilities, go to male prisons and enter male sports competitions. Anything else would be discrimination based on their sex.
No one is saying transwomen are 'more' predatory, we are saying they are no less risk than anyone else of their sex class. The sex class that commits almost all sex offences, so ALL men are considered the same amount of threat.
What 'rights' do trans people need that they don't already have in relation to their sex like everyone else?
IT IS NOT a 'human right' for a man to have any and all access to spaces where women and children are at their most vulnerable, or be exempt from normal safeguarding rules because being told no hurts their feelings.
Why have women's existing rights and protections to having boundaries, safety, privacy and dignity away from any male in certain circumstances, suddenly become completely unacceptable and must be ignored and removed to accommodate some men? Why?
Men weren't at greater risk from gay men in men's facilities.
The threat to women's safety is men having access to female only spaces. That threat doesn't lessen just because some men 'identify as' women.
Single sex spaces, sports and services are vital and legal.
I'm at the point were I question the motives, or intelligence, of anyone who thinks allowing men into female only spaces, and thus removing female legal protections, is perfectly fine and harmless, especially when there is no way to separate the men with 'genders' from any other man, as the entire ideology is based on unprovable, subjective feelings.
So you either think female people are a sex class in their own right, with the ability to name themselves as separate and distinct from male people with unique needs and to be able to advocate politically for those needs, or you don't, and you need to ask yourself why you think the sex based reality of half the population should be ignored to pander to male feelings.
