This is what I’d love to see more. Treat the questioner as if they just said something really fucking weird (they did), affirm that trans people, just like all of us, do deserve rights, and then redirect to something actually relevant.
I think that’s a good suggestion.
“What if a pre-op mtf transgender person was in a female change room and cis-females felt unsafe”
Its such a strangely constructed hypothetical fixated on a really bizarre premise.
The conversation quickly devolves into some kind of “id rather encounter a bear while hiking” kind of thing where only women can have a valid opinion.
As a male, in an anonymous medium, I feel comfortable opining that aggravated sexual assault in changerooms isn’t a credible risk, and the incidence of that type of assault is not increased by allowing pre-op mtf transgender people to use the change room.
