      I used the stalls that are often in there. Also not every trans woman has that between her legs. Surgery is relatively commonly undergone so there would be no way to tell to the point even gynaecologists assume a person is cis when they’re actually trans unless told before hand.

      Regardless I have never had a cis woman be uncomfortable around me in any woman’s space not just change rooms. My experience is not an outlier as I have known many trans women who have used women spaces without issue.

          No, youre clearly here to argue against people who know more than you while reading basically none of the replies and actually understanding them

              Hey so I watched a video that really explains all this really well and figured I’d share it with you. For the record I do think our discussion was fruitful and amicable and that you did actually read what I said.

              Anyways here’s the link https://youtu.be/BRg3t7KINzw

                That was actually a very informing video. I think as well, it kinda hits home as I have faced transphobic abuse before despite being a cis man. Are there actually any statistics on people claiming to be trans to commit sex abuse?

                  I don’t believe there are any because generally speaking people don’t need to claim to be trans to do so. As I’ve said previously, a sign on a door is not a magic barrier, if someone wants to commit abuse of any kind they can just walk in and do that. All that this anti-trans bathroom etc stuff does is give people a legal pass to challenge a persons cis-ness and harass them that way regardless of if they are actually trans or not.

                  That is the real concern and there have already been credible reports of this harassment happening to people. Meanwhile there hasn’t been any credible reports of cis people pretending to be trans to abuse people.

                    Eh… On your last claim, if IIRC, Chris Chan is believed to have transitioned to try and get with lesbians. I don’t think this was a factor in what he later did.

                    There were some allegations against keffals and having a weird discord server. Again, could have been done without a transition. But it was still off.

                    I think the main case is the sex abuser Isla Bryson, AMAB who attempted to be moved to a female prison. It was stopped, albeit not soon enough.
