Dear creepy heterosexual men guarding our bathrooms,

[Saviolo]

3. "Our women will be sexually assaulted in washrooms!"

That is their strident belief, that somehow the fact that trans women were born as men will make them want to assault, stare at, peep on, etc... women in the washroom instead of, y'know, just wanting to go to the washroom.

They're ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED that this might be the case.

But here's the thing. Look at how men treat women who actually come forward after sexual assault and rape. That they would DARE accuse a man of advancing without consent. There have been two highly publicized cases in the last couple of years; Bill Cosby and (in Canada) Jian Ghomeshi. In both cases the women who had been assaulted, and even in some cases drugged and assaulted, were dragged through the mud on social media with rape and death threats, and even the media decided they needed to take a look at the "motivations" of these women for stepping forward.

Deal with that problem before you deal with the non-problem of trans people using the washroom of the sex they identify as. Women are not "going to be" assaulted. They are BEING assaulted. Every day. And they largely don't even report it, because victims of rape and assault are treated terribly by men and the media.
