Bebe, those "biological men" are not interested in you. They are not attracted to you or me sexually. Plus, you've likely used the bathroom many times over your life with a transwoman in a locked stall nearby. We neither knew nor cared until someone told us we should. This has been true for as long as there have been public facilities.

Trans men might be attracted to us, but they are statistically NOT rapists. Trans women aren't trying to rape us. They're not sexually attracted to girls and women. That's straight cis men.

Think about this: What happens to trans women when they're forced to pee in men's facilities? How will you feel when trans men are forced to pee in women's facilities?

Do you know what is happening, what it means in their lives for them to be trans? Trans people are more than four times more likely to be victims of violence. They're as much as 50% more likely to commit suicide under the barrage of bigotry and marginalization and denial of transition-care. They're twice as likely to be victims of rape. And the overwhelming majority of those stresses are inflicted by straight cis men.

What has any trans person done to deserve that kind of marginalization? Why do they deserve to suffer and die like that? Trans rights are about lifting trans people out of the depths of such societally imposed suffering. Where is the nuance of their suffering in the anti-trans agenda? Seriously… what does that agenda intend the outcome should be for trans people? Think about that. Think about it real hard. Because, there is only one logical outcome to the anti-trans agenda: the eradication of trans people.

The fear and "resentments" over transfolk are manufactured and in response to society trying to move toward a more compassionate and inclusive idea of personal liberty and human rights. That idea of personal liberty just comes down to letting people live their best lives.

BTW, the science actually shows that the treatments of transition actually diminish an athlete's effectiveness in most cases. Men aren't trying to be trans to one up women athletes.
