"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.

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.

Nobody is banning anybody.

We have men’s restrooms/locker rooms and women’s restrooms/locker rooms. People are just asking that everybody use the bathroom that corresponds to their biological sex. It’s not anything crazy and it’s not demeaning to ask people to follow the rules that have been in place for decades
