    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.
