Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

Two anecdotes does not a precedent make. Nobody is saying those two instances aren’t horrifying. But like I said, this does not happen with any regularity. While TERFs disingenuously claim it’s an epidemic, with no real evidence, or statistics to back up their argument.

Trans women are not only being denied their identity, but they’re straight up being dehumanized by TERFs. And all because one or two scumbags is enough to fuel their belief that this is enough of a problem to treat all trans women as male potential rapists.

As other people pointed out, trans women will suffer the same things TERFs wrongly claim already happens in woman’s restrooms all the time by being forced to use the men’s restroom. Not to mention trans men would be forced to use women’s restrooms, and many trans men would look infinitely more out of place than the trans women who have been using their preferred restrooms without anyone noticing for decades. And of course, cis woman who look even a little butch or “not feminine enough” have already been singled out by TERFs and other bigots who assume they’re trans women using the women’s restroom.

And I don’t know why you included the example of the man who pretended to be a teenager to infiltrate a school and abuse kids, because that has no connection given by you to the concept of a cis man pretending to be trans. So you only gave me one anecdotal example.

Nobody is disagreeing that men can be rather trash. But not only are trans women not men, but they’re being treated like dirt by TERFs just as much as the rest of society treats them horribly. And all because of a panic based on a handful of anecdotes at best, and purely hypothetical ideas of what COULD happen at worst. I know you’re not specifically saying trans women aren’t women, at least it doesn’t seem like that’s what you’re saying. But a lot of people who use these arguments do think that, and they don’t stop at just disrespecting identity.
