No, the reality is that it DOES affect plenty of people I count as friends and family. It affects my wife, my daughters, my mother, my cousins, nieces, friends, and so on. They are who is affected and put at risk by allowing trans women into women’s sex segregated spaces.

If all it takes to get access to women’s changing rooms is to say you’re a woman, that’s what perverts and creeps will do - and this is what we’ve seen ever since this issue arose.

You’re saying that the entire population of females’ safety matters less than the feelings of the fraction of a percent of males who identify as women. Trans women aren’t in danger in men’s spaces. Men rape other men at an infinitely smaller rate than they do women. Women, however, are in danger if mean are allowed in women’s spaces simply by saying they are women.

The number of people murdered every year because they’re trans is close to zero in the western world.
