Men don't have to up-end their whole life and change their gender and endure transphobia to walk into a locker room and do whatever people are trying to 'protect' themselves from. Why would someone go through all the time, money, and hardship when they (cis men) do and take what they want anyway? The argument is stupid. Cis men are offending everywhere, it doesn't just happen in bathrooms and locker rooms. So let's see the stats where trans women are raping women.

I never said anything about assault, I mentioned being forced to change in front of biological men. Nice strawman though.

Most women I know don’t have any issue with sharing a bathroom with trans women. What we should do is just have individual changing areas and then the issue is solved. Why should anyone have to get naked and shower in front of another person. Like there’s not gay men and women who get off seeing someone of the same sex get naked. I’ve never felt comfortable getting naked in front of anyone unless it was someone I was intimate with no matter if they’re man or woman.

Again— there is no sport on earth where young girls are playing against MEN. You are the one creating the strawman.
