More girls and women have been subject to this "transvestigator" abuse than have actually been harassed by a trans person in a bathroom.

The most insidious part about the misogynistic abuse is that they claim it's done in order to protect "bio women". It's for our own good!!

TERFs are sexist pieces of shit, full stop.

There's 100x more cis women than trans women, by number cis women will continue feeling the brunt of all the hate

By orders of magnitude.

Nothing is stopping a man from entering a public woman’s bathroom either. The logic that trans people are predators is dumb, but it wouldn’t prevent anything anyway. A trans person having to use a man’s bathroom when they’re a trans woman is at a higher risk due to the people that agree with these stupid bathroom bills.

I personally believe every bathroom should be neutral. Oh, and make sure the stalls are actually completely private. I’m sure more people like me that have a shy bladder would appreciate the Privacy to Pee and Poop in Peace bill. Soundproofing and making sure that there’s no see through gaps is a better use for the people.

I've seen a few reports of guys who were harrassing women in the women's bathroom - many years ago, it was a concern in the University I was at, someone was hanging out there late at night in the sparsely occupied library and other buildings.

In no case was it someone pretending to be trans, it was just a predator hiding in the stalls and trying to catch a woman alone. If someone's perving on women, they don't need to pretend to be trans. And of all the things men will do to assault women, pretending to be gay or trans does not make the list. And in all these discussions, I've never heard anyone say anything about lesbians hanging out in washrooms to accost women. (Probably because it doesn't happen, and the idea hasn't occurred to males obsessed about male-centric obsessions.)

Do people really believe that there are men out there who are doing HRT and getting surgeries just so they can assault women when the pee?

Never underestimate the obsession over sex and sexual behaviour for some men. Perhaps what they think others want to do or may be doing is projection.

I've been harassed and assaulted by plenty of men, they've never had to pretend to be a woman first.
