The inherent inequality of transition
It's hard for some people on my side, the right side of history, to accept that some transgenders slip through the cracks and "pass" as the gender they are pretending to be. After all, if they never did, transgenderism wouldn't be a problem. But they will, and they do, and that's a problem.
When you quote-on-quote "pass", other people around you are assuming that you have the opposite chromosomes and genitals of reality; they're assuming you're the opposite sex. This means that they don't know what your sex is, because their guess is wrong. This gives you a sort of privacy and privilege not afforded to non-transgender (henceforward called "normal") people.
A normal woman is trapped. Others know her sex. This makes her vulnerable. Other people know a man's sex. That, too, makes him vulnerable, in a different way; it exposes him to toxic masculinity.
But transgenders are invincible to this, because no one knows their sex. They can't truly be affected thanks to their self-imposed gender privilege. Transwomen, unlike women, can't be raped or otherwise violently victimized. Transmen are, similarly, immune to men's issues.
This is gender apartheid.
This must not continue.
