The thing is we've been sharing bathrooms with trans-women for years and years. Trans people didn't just magically appear in the past few years. They've always been around since we've been alive. This has never been an issue until these bills starting making a non-issue into one.

And none of that would matter to the cisgender women I described, many of which would have been immediately uncomfortable as soon as they figured out they or their daughter/granddaughter/niece had just used a public restroom with "someone who identifies as a trans woman".

Notice I put that in quotes?

It's to give you an idea of what some of these alarmist women think when it comes to trans women sharing the same restrooms as regular women. They have a common perspective of suspicion around any strangers claiming to be trans women in "women-only spaces".

Is that the fault of trans women? No...but that's the boogey monster you're dealing with. Some of these women are concerned matriarchs (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc) who will vote in support of many trans rights....except when it comes to sharing the ladies room. Hell some of them are flat out TERFs who typically refuse to welcome trans women anywhere.

My main point before was that there's a significant amount of women who also vehemently disagree with trans women using the same restrooms as cis women and girls. Sure, some male politicians share the same perspective. However, there's also quite a bit of male politicians who don't personally share that view but will push anti-trans policies just to cater to a fuckload of angry cis people (both men and women) demanding "someone please think of the children".

The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice.
