>>40361047you know that butch cis women have been getting verbally and physically attacked for using the womens' room since before anyone knew what a transgender person was, right? It's been an extremely unfortunate mainstay of butch life for decades.
I came out as trans in '04, but even before I physically transitioned, I couldn't use any gender of bathroom without risking being screamed at or on one occasion slapped around (for the womens) and stalked and threatened with sexual assault (in the mens).
Ditto gay men being stereotyped as hanging out in all-male spaces like restrooms and locker rooms, looking for little boys. that's like some 1950s shit.
modern-day conservatives and evangelicals aren't responding to anything trans people have actually done. They're generating smears first and searching for evidence later, and the smears are just copypaste of old bigotry.
The fact that the hysteria about trans women also helps gets butch cis women and trans men attacked is low key a plus for them. they hate, and have always hated, anyone not gender conforming. If trans people didn't exist they'd be targeting you directly.
