    It’s not bigotry for women to be uncomfortable around men in women only space. While I try my best to treat trans women as women, it’s not right to demand that women feel as comfortable around trans women as they do around cis women.

      It’s irrational to fear people identified as male at birth whose testosterone is suppressed

      I understand that you’re coming at this from a reasonable place, but this comment seems unusually hostile in a way your previous comments weren’t. I understand what you’re saying about the role of emotions, but we have to decide as a society that your emotions end where others’ rights begin, otherwise we could go down a very dark path. Racists could easily argue that banning indigenous ppl from white society is valid because they have their own indigenous communities.

        My tone was probably a bit harsh because I was getting frustrated with how dogmatic the “trans women are women” crowd is. Yes we should individually treat them as such, the law should also treat them as such, but drawing a legal line that they should be treated as such is a step too far.

        The needs to trans people should be accommodated. But the preferences of the more dogmatic trans people should not be respected at any cost, there has to be room for another’s comfort.

        If you think this is bigotry then you don’t know what bigotry is.

          Tenderizer literally called transwomen men. That’s pretty textbook bigotry. Not sure what you’re complaining about here, apart from the fact that Taleya called it what it was.

            I did not. I was referred to cis men in that sentence, to explain why the term bigotry doesn’t apply to matters of privacy. Either way treating that as some kind of gotcha is so very expected.

              Oh dear. Please don’t try that martyred crap. There is a very clear line of conversational progression here and you literally said "It’s not bigotry for women to be uncomfortable around men in women only space. "
