Because a male could never actually pretend to be trans for selfish reasons? Instead of a mutually beneficial compromise like give everyone private individual

Because a male could never actually pretend to be trans for selfish reasons? Instead of a mutually beneficial compromise like give everyone private individual dressing spaces and listening to potential victims of trans abuse in gendered spaces. You go full offensive mode on me for even suggesting the possibility. It seems that you don't want political allies, but rather political subjects... If you're actually open to seeing the issue there are plenty of stories you can search up on this topic. What I mention is hardly unique, I see them with some frequency. Ignoring these concerns will just cement the political divide and harden political opponents who want to protect female gendered spaces and youth from predators.

> Because a male could never actually pretend to be trans for selfish reasons? I've seen a number of perverts in my life, but this one would be on a different level. The amount of bullying that boy would receive from other boys would hardly be compensated by him being able to go into the girl's locker when the whole content of the internet porn is readily available. > What I mention is hardly unique, I see them with some frequency. From reputable news sources?

Why would a male even bother to - take HRT long enough to pass, which is in months if not years - destroy their libido - sterilize himself - gain weight - reduce the size of his penis - experience near constant pain on his penis due to atrophy - have his testicles shrink - have erectile dysfunction - experience all that bullying - risk getting disowned by family - lose friendships so that he can commit an __opportunity__ crime? Do you honestly find that reasonable? Maybe the problem is not that trans women and girls exist, but that men and boys seem to be opportunistic predators. If your claim is that the boy or man can just self-id as trans, and then enter the bathroom, then my question is, what stops them from entering it anyway? Why go through all the trouble of a possibly social transition and all that entails just to commit an opportunity crime when they could very well just go in?

  None of this is required for a male to claim to have a so-called 'female gender identity' and be admitted to female-only spaces. Just look at what is happening with prisons in jurisdictions where they have prioritized claims of 'gender identity' over sex. Women have been sexually assaulted, raped and even impregnated by such males. It's horrifying.
