I'm not going to read or respond to any of the comments in this thread because I don't want to self-harm today. However, I have to comment on the site linked in the article, noconflicttheysaid.org, because it's absolutely hilarious. It has stories about the supposed negative impact of trans women in women's spaces. I'm not cherry-picking; from the top, the stories on the first two pages are:
1. A woman and her two daughters went into a unisex bathroom. As you might expect, there were men there. Then nothing happened. Also, several years earlier, she went into a women's bathroom that indicated it allowed transgender women, but there weren't any there. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/scienceworks-immunologist-s-office-bathrooms https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/scienceworks-immunol...
2. A trans woman in a Facebook group for mothers was trying to simulate a pregnancy and asked people there to share their experience with miscarriages since she knew she couldn't have a baby in the end. She also said she would like to breastfeed someone else's baby. As far as it's indicated, these requests were not made to anyone in particular, they were just posted in Facebook group. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/online-group-for-breastfeeding-mothers https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/online-group-for-bre...
3. Some trans students at a girl's school don't have to wear the uniform, miss school a lot, and do school projects on transgender issues. Apparently, other students resent them for this. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/all-girls-senior-school https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/all-girls-senior-sch...
4. A trans woman cursed at some counter-protesters at a trans rights rally. In the included video, we see that this was in reaction to the counter-protesters (although not the same ones apparently) spraying water(?) at people. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/who-s-unsafe-on-campus https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/who-s-unsafe-on-camp...
5. A woman who was previously sexually assaulted by men says that she gets nervous and her body tenses up when she's sees a large man. She claims that this is something trans women will never understand. This is completely ridiculous: I myself have this reaction too if I'm alone or it's at night (in a way I did not before I transitioned), and I know other trans women who have similar anxieties about men in general. Anyway, the story is that a trans woman on a bus (where trans women have always been allowed) told some young women that they were pretty and asked them where they bought clothes and underwear. I'll admit that's a bit creepy, but no more so than things men already say to women in public spaces. And again, is the suggestion to ban trans women from buses? https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/trans-woman-harassing-young-girls-on-melbourne-public-transport https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/trans-woman-harassin...
6. There was a trans woman in a women's bathroom lingering near the sink. https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/women-s-toilets-in-hospital https://www.noconflicttheysaid.org/post/women-s-toilets-in-h...
