You do not put somebody with trauma in a room with the thing that causes that trauma. You don't put an arachnophobe in a room with a spider. You don't lock somebody terrified of dogs in a room with a dog. You don't put a transwoman in a room with a bunch of men if she's bean beaten up by men. You don't put a woman who is scared of being raped by a cis man in a room with somebody with XY anatomy, no matter how she identifies.

I don't disagree, but it seems to me that this is a problem that you should be able to address on a case-by-case basis, not a problem that you have to structure everything around. So it's not clear to me how this really justifies the solution that TERFs are advocating.

If you want to talk about the importance of nuance, I don't think that TERFs are approaching this situation with nuance at all. I don't think it helps anyone to take the approach that they do, and fulminate about how dangerous and evil trans women are. I think they're pretty clearly using the issue as a cudgel against trans people. And I think that's probably mostly why people respond the way they do.
