And that’s what happens when we demonise trans people as a minority group, while our politics emboldens the bully and bigot.

Every woman who isn’t conventionally feminine will now be harassed by people trying to hunt down trans people in public toilets.
Truly embarrassing how much we’ve devolved as a country.

Your daily reminder that transphobia hurts everyone, including straight cis people.
As a woman at the opposite end of the height spectrum, people make a lot of assumptions about me too – age not gender related – and it sucks because there’s very little you can do about it.
This woman has my sympathies.

This is what people forget when they support all the transphobia and the single sex spaces separation policies that are being pushed.
Trans Women make up 0.25%~ of the population, vs the rest of cis women being 50%~
Doing basic math you can easily see that far more cis women will be “accused” of being trans and be harassed and abused due to this.
Transphobia doesn’t help anyone and it doesn’t protect single sex spaces, if anything it makes them more dangerous and discrimination more likely to occur, and with it, more harassment than there was before.

I was talking about this in a thread yesterday, but a huge amount of the transphobes’ weird beliefs about the bathroom stuff seem to come from their absolute certainty that they can “tell” who is trans with 100% accuracy.
Why weren’t they worried about transwomen in bathrooms say, ten years ago (before the current anti-trans panic), even though transwomen were definitely quietly using their preferred bathrooms back then, as well? Ah, au contraire mes ami, transwomen must not have been using women’s bathrooms ten years ago, because I, the transphobe, would have been able to *tell* if they were!

Oh hey it’s that thing that everyone predicted would happen.

I’m 6 ft, female, but also quite broad at the shoulders. I look very feminine in makeup and a dress.
I’ve been confused for a man plenty of times when I’ve been in a hoodie and baggy jeans.
I genuinely feel like it’s a matter of time until this is something I come across.
Hatred and division hurts everyone.

That thing that we repeatedly said would happen, but were shut down, talked over with “it never will” and “we can always tell”
And look, that thing is happening…

Yeah, this is where all this transphobic shit was leading, it’s not just fucking over trans people, it’s fucking over all women. Cheers JK Rowling and friends!

Sounds about right. The fact is that transpeople are very rare. Estimated in the census as less than 1 in 200, which is [itself likely an overestimate](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3030519849o). So any policing you do is going to “catch” more ciswomen with atypical body types (tall, particularly muscly/athletic etc.) than transpeople just based on probability.
Anti-trans campaigners have simply invented a new excuse for misogyny, encouraging us all to judge women for not being petite and feminine enough.

Every time this happens the person making the accusation needs a long prison sentence and the facilities operator needs a fine in the hundreds of millions. If people want to play stupid games, we must provide the stupid prizes to match.

And so it begins, profiling women for not looking a certain way because some people can’t help but demonise a group.
