[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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.[/b] [/quote]

Amen! However, logic will never work with the anti-vaxx crowd or the transphobic crowd. They are hysterical nut cases who can see reality.[/quote]
