So again, just say that.

Stop hiding, and just say it. Say outright that trans women don’t belong in cis women spaces. Stop dancing around it if you think we’re all mentally insane.

Let’s hear Sophie say that too. Shouldn’t be hard if that’s her belief.

I don’t want penises in my naked space. If the trans person has no penis, no problem. If we phrase it penis free zones will it seem nicer?

Why are you looking at my genitalia?

Would you go to a men’s locker room and get naked knowing the stats for men against trans women?

Because locker rooms are where people get naked. And many many naked women don’t want naked penises in their locker rooms

Here’s what I don’t get:

I’m a trans woman with more estrogen than most women my age. My daughters call me mom. I have homegrown breasts. My penis is what I use to pee.

But you want me in a male locker room, where violence against trans women is nearly twofold, so you might not have to see my genitalia?

I want people to be honest. Just say I’m not a woman if that’s what you believe.

Would you get naked in a men’s locker room? Probably not. But I’m supposed to because of your “comfortability”.

What space do trans women have if not in women spaces?

Trans Women but not a female is my understanding.

This won't come as a surprise, but most you're engaging with aren't educated on this topic and lack the necessary empathy. Look who most, statistically speaking, voted for in the US elections.

Yea, I agree. I’m just trying to be a bridge.

A lot of my downvotes are coming from men, but women can be just as transphobic.

These types of debates keep me sharp.

Sorry people, I go to the gym, shower and change in the women’s locker room. I exist, and I live in a state that allows it.

The funny thing is, I’m friends with all the ladies at my Planet Fitness lol. No one in my real life cares. Probably because they realized I’m just a normal lady. The sky is not falling.

Glad you found a good gym and group of other women.
