[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Op says she feels unsafe and everyone says welcome to the Ladies room!  I say I don't feel safe and people say "Get over it or you are being transphobic"

I see the point that Op feels unsafe in the male restroom so why is it so difficult to see that other women may feel unsafe if a biological male is using the women's restrooms?  Why not go for it and be unisex?  Btw, I hate the fact that now we all have to be labeled.  Since when did the term CIS come into fashion?  I hate it![/quote]

So the problem is that the trans woman's fear is backed up by actual statistics. She is actually in danger in a men's room. There are many documented cases of being attacked. And while yes there are documented cases of men attacking women in a women's room, there are no cases of a trans woman attacking women in a women's room.

It's actually really analogous to the vaccine debate. Group A is afraid of terrible illnesses reviving and killing their children and this fear is based on seeing it actually start to happen. And Group B is afraid of their children getting injured by vaccines which is ridiculously rare and the good done through immunity is saving many many many many more children from dying. Group A's fear is more legitimate because it is statistically more likely and ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Regardless of how passionately Group B feels, reality isn't backing them up. And while Group B is certainly entitled to their feelings, we don't necessarily need to base policy and actions based on what they think because they are in fact demonstrably wrong. [/quote]
