This is a completely imagined problem. I don't want to outright accuse you of intentionally lying, because your writing comes off as more just severely uninformed. But where on earth do you come up with this opinion?

You're mistaking sex & gender here. They are indeed quite separate concepts. Perhaps this is why you're apparently resistant to accepting trans people as the gender they present themselves as?
I want to be clear -- the changes are about accepting trans people in society. This does go hand-in-hand with reducing violence against trans people. If there's no acceptance, then the ones that hold the most extreme antagonizing viewpoints _do_ use violence. [1] Using language that others trans people, casts them out as not-women, dehumanizes them. When you dehumanize a person, you make it possible to objectify them. And when people are objects, people become ok with violence.
You cannot ignore the reality that there exists not only people with body dysmorphia, but also folks that don't fall neatly into the XY or XX chromosome paradigm [2].
Nature, reality, does not fall into neat little ordered boxes.
Everyone deserves a fair shake. And everyone deserves to be free of violence and legal discrimination for them simply existing.

- xcxs 4y ago> This is a completely imagined problem. No it is not. I'm a bit surprised you have missed the news on this influx of males into women's spaces, to be honest, given how confident you are that this isn't happening. It's one of the most controversial cultural issues in the public eye right now. And many, many women are quite rightly furious about it. The worst is prisons. Males are being incarcerated in women's prisons and committing sexual assaults, rapes and impregnations upon the women locked up with them. > You're mistaking sex & gender here. They are indeed quite separate concepts. Perhaps this is why you're apparently resistant to accepting trans people as the gender they present themselves as? They can present however they want, that is not the issue. The problem is males imposing themselves on female-only spaces. Their claims of identity are irrelevant, they shouldn't be there at all.
