Trans people are asking for nothing more to be respected, have access to health care and ideally to stop being hate crimed. But these basic facilities are threatened by those who need an “boogey monster other” to demonize for political points. Gender is such a given to most people that we as Trans people threaten their world view simply by existing outside of a narrow binary. Many feel justified in exerting control over our bodies, purely because our existence is too much of a nagging open question that threatens their worldview.
I’m more talking about things like female only doctors, crisis centres, and sports, but yes, bathrooms are an issue.
You don’t need to do a genital inspection to tell when a trans woman walks in to a female bathroom. It’s obvious.
They’re absolutely not “made up problems” and hand waving them away is ridiculous, especially if you want things like womens sports to even exist. Women-only places were specifically made for a reason. Allowing biological men, most who are attracted to women and with fully intact genitals, is a disaster for these places and the vulnerable women that need them.

I’m here.
I’m queer.
And I’m filled with fear.
Not quite. They’re also asking for access to sex-separated places different to their sex.

Sorry, but no. They never “pass”. Never.
Oh boy, the irony is delicious.
