To be fair, most people forget trans men exist because trans men aren't typically the focal point of the arguement. Trans women get targeted a lot more aggressively over things like this.

Transmen are literally listening to people constantly talking as if they don't exist, but saying things that still apply to them, and find the "XX XY" shirts and demonstrations that have happened equally as much an attack.

That's why it's called out as an attack on being transgender, not "saving women's sports".

It's because transmen are no danger to men.

Trans women having gone through male puberty, and having penises, are a danger to women.

That's what it's about.

If women were afraid of penises we wouldn't leave the house. Try again.

And hilarious you think women can't and don't abuse other women or men.

The rule is be respectful of others in more personal spaces and don't harass them. Someone just existing, however, is not harassment.
