Trans women, brown-skinned children—is no one safe from this petulant child? Fortunately they have brave souls willing to put up a fight.

so far, suits are working. And the more nutso the orders get, the more they will work. Duffy, our new Sick of Transportation, has issued an "order" that DOT can't fund things where the recipients have vaccine requirements or mask mandates. Few have mask mandates yet--but bird flu is very possibly incoming.

Could we have some actual verified data? How many rapists have said they are trans women, placed in womens prisons, then raped again?

Facts, not hysteria please.

And this is the core of why there is such division in the country. We can't agree on basic facts. We can't agree on basic facts because we can't agree on what new sources are credible.

I did some research and reduxx.info and the @NoXY_USA account which made the X post you linked. Both have a reputation for posting negative content about transgender people.

As a transgender woman, to me, that makes them suspect sources because they seem to have an agenda. On the other hand, if I saw a report like that on multiple mainstream news outlets which I am confident follow journalistic standards, corroborating sources etc, I'd look at it differently.

Of course, I'm guessing the mainstream news outlets I find credit credible, you would consider to be suspect.

I don't think anybody on this comments page wants to see anybody in danger. Not you, not me. I don't know what the solution is but rather than yelling at each other, maybe we can take a breath and acknowledge the problem isn't that anyone wants anyone to be unsafe it's that we don't have a common base of facts we can all agree on.

it is much more common for the reverse to happen, where cisgender males sexually harrass trans women. the trans population does not even come proportionally as close to the reported prevalence of sexual assault in the cis population, particularly cis males. if you ask me, endangerment of women is a cisgender male issue, and these men should seek therapy as well as support, to be able to have the healthy rape-less relationships they deserve.

let me ask you, how can you prove without a doubt a person's biological sex? are we going to have guards posted outside women's bathrooms to inspect their genitals? fuck no we aren't. many have changed their gender markers, and when w guard sees an intersex person, what next?

do we have to submit a dna test to be granted access? do you like misandrist fascism? do you secretly just want to kill all men? if thats the case, go ahead, throw ethics out the window, generalize an entire sex, misrepresent gender, ignore years of research, and somehow gain victory over a system that exploits you AND me every day. the means don't justify it.

i understand you are fearful at the state of the world, the things men do, afraid of rape, afraid of violence, desperate for freedom. but you are not pointing fingers at the right place. when we are gone, cis women will be next

the patriarchy is the cause for men's sexual violence and assault... i was saying that we should address the things that bring it about, for their own safety and yours, instead of "hating men" maybe you should kill the patriarchy, which i am also a victim of for being shamed for my identity, due to this ridiculous drive to "protect women" as if they can't protect themselves by demeaning and insulting those who transition to womanhood to treat their gender dysphoria and experience the same misogyny you do even when they dont pass.
