There's also some women that were so traumatised by experience with men that they are afraid trans women will attack women, and creeps will claim they are trans to elude punishment. I think this is a real problem, but much rarer than it may seem, and it's not a good enough reason to say that trans women don't/shouldn't exist. Maybe it's because I'm too privileged to understand
Please provide a source to 1 instance in the history of the world where an abuser used cross-dressing as the primary way to gain access to his victims...we'll wait.
Yes, people are scared of this. But, only bc GOP leaders tell them to be. It's a made up fear that cannot be legitimized like you are trying to do
I'm not trying to legitimise anything, but when I try to convince such people, I usually fail, that's why I brought it up. Yes it's weaponising fear and it's the same irrational beliefs that make people racist or nazi, and a lot of other things, I think
Regarding the sources, I think it's stories like this or this that makes them worry, don't know if sources are credible, first one looks pretty fake.
nitpick
besides, I didn't sayit can be opportunistic, not modus operandi, I only think that this is realistic because statistically speaking there are enough abusers on the planet so that at least some could try doing that
Which cis woman was traumatized in either of those articles?
