    Why split things like bathrooms or hospital wards by sex or gender anyway? Any solution that validates trans people while still separating genders is only going to be a bandage solution at best, as it doesn’t solve the underlying issue of sexism “I can’t be in the same room as someone of another sex/gender, that would be terrible!” Like what? Are we trying to accommodate religious idiots instead of trans people or something?

      No, it’s to stop putting men in the same wards as women in case the men rape the women or harass them. It’s about protecting women.

        No, it’s to make women who assume they will be raped feel safe. Men don’t just rape women because they’re in the same room. They don’t change gender to improve their rape opportunities either.

          Oh no no, if I’m even in the same room as a woman alone as a cis male I’m obligated to rape a woman

            This shit is so blatantly and openly misandrist, I can’t even imagine growing up as a boy hearing this rhetoric thrown around how you’re just a monster and you can’t prove otherwise, spread by what you would assume at first are kind old ladies on the street.

          There is a reason why hospitals have “sex” instead of “gender” on their paperwork because gender is fucking useless now

            I always say female anyway and so do all trans women I know. I specify “biological” if asked because I’m not a cyborg either. This isn’t some gotcha you think it is and idc what other dogwhistles you invent. Cope and seethe.

              Biologically trans women ARE men. You obviously cared somewhere along the line till it comes to something that actually matters

                Biologically trans women are trans women, they have very little in common with cis men other than chromosomes, they’re not the same as cis women entirely but have far more in common with them.

                The average trans woman has had her T levels nuked for decades, usually below cis women levels and E levels same as a cis woman, their bodies are completely different including their genitalia most of the time.

                As far as the actual medical truth of the matter we are not cis men, I don’t have to worry about testicular, prostate or penile cancers but I do have to worry quite a bit more than a cis man about breast cancer for example.

                    I’m one of the people that would be forced into a room with women and I have no tits and grow facial hair my dude. It doesn’t make me or them safer. Your position is simply stupid and coming from a place of bigotry.

          Well they aren’t the same as normal women either, so what are they?
