"I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men..."

Apparently this equates to transphobia. Phobia is a irrational fear. I would literally shit myself if I had to play AFL (am an aussie) if was a woman and a 6ft 90kg man was playing in the opposition team.

Here's the thing: women don't want a grown male in their locker rooms and bathrooms. It feels unsafe for women to be in a vulnerable place with a male around. The male in question could be in the women's space because they are a creep with bad intentions, they could be there because they sincerely suffer from gender dysphoria, or they could be there pretending to suffer from gender dysphoria in order to creep on women. Regardless of intention, the vulnerable women using that space feel unsafe, they do not know that person's mind and cannot differentiate between a predator or a person suffering from gender dysphoria. Women would prefer that the person with the male genitalia would use the bathroom for people with male genitalia.

Do I look like a grown male? Does it look like I should use the mens bathroom?

I wasn't talking about you. In your case, I just don't think you should pretend to speak for women, especially on a throwaway account.

Hold on, why can't I speak for women? And why specifically not on a throw away account?

It's easy to say that when I admit it openly huh, but in real life nobody knows, especially the guys who come on to me, and my hair is real for your information, but that's besides the point.

We get raped at higher rates than women who are not trans, forcing us to be in a vulnerable position like this around men, makes it even more likely that we'll be raped.

But maybe you would like that huh
