This is what Iād love to see more. Treat the questioner as if they just said something really fucking weird (they did), affirm that trans people, just like all of us, do deserve rights, and then redirect to something actually relevant.
I think thatās a good suggestion.
āWhat if a pre-op mtf transgender person was in a female change room and cis-females felt unsafeā
Its such a strangely constructed hypothetical fixated on a really bizarre premise.
The conversation quickly devolves into some kind of āid rather encounter a bear while hikingā 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 isnāt 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.
