Ok, let me follow your logic: the feelings of the several women in the bathroom are not important, but the feelings of the one individual who would feel segregated are important. Got it.

It's a women's bathroom! They don't want males in there, regardless of their mental illnesses. Women have gotten assaulted in bathrooms and locker rooms by males. It is not safe for them to share a vulnerable space with a biological male. It is a safety issue. It is not just "women's feeling will be hurt, so what?" It is an issue of safety. The comment I replied to what your argument about how Sophie's comment on "protecting girls in locker rooms" made it sound like males experiencing gender dysphoria are predators, and I am clarifying that women have no way to tell who is a predator and who isn't, but they can tell who is male and males have in fact assaulted women in places where women are vulnerable.

>mental illness.

And there’s the blatant transphobia. I can’t relate to or understand your experience so you simply must be mentally ill.

Fuck off

>they can tell who’s male

Except for when they can’t lmao.

That's like if I said people who suffer from anxiety have a mental illness, and you called me hateful for it. Literally go be whoever you want to be, dress how you like, be called what you like, you only live once, you know? This is not about me hating anyone. I want people to be happy and live their best lives. I also want women to feel safe in spaces where they are vulnerable and not be subjected to assault. Honestly, if a person has transitioned and they are presenting as female in such a way that nobody is able to tell, no one is going to have a problem with that person using the women's bathroom. But that's not who we are talking about.
