As a trans woman, I'm going into the bathroom to poop or pee and wash my hands. That's it.
I'm not saying it has never happened, but I've not heard of a single incident of someone getting assaulted in a ladies room by a "man in a dress," but plenty of trans women are assaulted inside and out of restrooms by cis men due to hate and fear.
Until a trans woman (or man for that matter) personally affects you or someone you know, please stop buying into the fear bait.
It's an appalling thing for people to say and its just an excuse. It's totally illogical, why would trans women be lurking in bathrooms only to assault instead of the other safer options? How likely is it that a male predator would face the abuse they'll get for appearing trans (including risk of murder) just so they can hang out in the bathroom to assault someone? It's all an excuse to attack trans for daring to exist.
Absolutely agree. I appreciate the support 😊
