> So many women are getting abused in dorms now and nobody can talk about it;
I don't believe that there's a widespread issue of people stopping other people from talking about people being abused. You're doing it right now and nobody stopped you. Other examples of it successfully happening abound.
> a friend of mine complained that a man was hanging out in the women's bathroom for hours on end on friday/saturday nights and the RA threatened to write her up.
This is not an example of somebody who was prevented from talking about being abused. I'm honestly not sure what to make of it. If the place had segregated bathrooms why were men in there at all? Literally anyone regularly hanging around in a shared bathroom for hours on end is a bit rude, but it's hard to understand why an RA would have threatened to write up your friend. Write her up for what exactly?
> Rape/abuse rates are around 300x higher (depending on the numbers you use) for trans/non-binary people than women yet nobody cares
Ignoring the fact that many trans/non-binary people are also women, I don't believe that nobody cares. Don't you? I also know that research is still being done on the subject. Schools can be weird though, so I'd be interested in examples of tenured professors who were fired for trying to research the subject if you have any.
