@RickiTarr I'm biased because I live it, but literally any laws that take rights away from trans people.
Almost every single conversation devolves into "but what if cis people abuse it?" And it's like...yeah, I guess punish cis people then. Not trans people, right?
@CordiallyChloe @RickiTarr "We have to ban trans people from bathrooms to protect women!"
Have you have problems with trans people assaulting women?
... No ...
Do you have a problem with men pretending to be trans to assault women?
... No ...
Are there laws to prosecute ANYONE who is harassing or assaulting women?
... Yes ...
So tell me again why trans women need to be banned?
Well they MIGHT assault women!
Yep, exactly this. It's why the first 2015 NC attempt at this was so widely pushed back against. Nobody could prove it had ever happened or was a problem in any way.
(Speaking of, did you know Hunter Schaefer was the "face" of that case? Bc I just learned that recently.)
@JessTheUnstill @CordiallyChloe @RickiTarr
Far higher chance that a certain type of woman will assault them.
@uc @JessTheUnstill @CordiallyChloe @RickiTarr
"If a cis woman attacks a trans woman in a public bathroom it means cis women make public bathrooms unsafe and they shouldn't be allowed to use them."
I think my argument is better founded seeing as we have actual examples of it happening? (I mean it's obvious bullshit, which is also my point)

I remember the 1980s/1990s when there was a conservative backlash against feminists who said something along the lines of "anyone with a penis is a potential rapist". "How unfair", they said.
Conservatives today: "some people who have a penis are potential rapists"
