Recent incidents show restroom harassment continues even when trans people use birth-sex facilities. Public perception, not policy, drives these conflicts.

    I can confirm. When I was younger I didn’t know I was transfem and I went to the men’s bathroom in somewhere in Moscow while having long hair. Got yelled at for looking like a girl in the men’s bathroom. That didn’t crack my egg.

      Back when I had really long hair I once had a couple men cat call me from behind talking about my ass. I’m a VERY bearded dude lol. The look on their faces when I turned around and gave them a thumbs up of thanks was like they had a very sudden and unwelcome awakening. Loved the compliment though, my ass DID look great in those jeans, thank you.

    that’s totally shocking it’s almost as if gender criticism wasn’t about gender but about enforcing strict patriarchal gender norms and mainstreaming draconial laws restrictions female bodily autonomy pushed by misogynist legislators
