It's a primitive fear that is drummed into women from an early age and
it's not uncommon in men either.  As soon as the spectre is raised of a
predatory man being present when you are at your most vulnerable, all
logical thought is suppressed.  That is what they are playing on.

As I've said, there are people who are perpetually afraid.  Imagine when
they have something to TRULY fear... they'll shit themselves!

 The true "snowflakes" :-)

Life has dangers/risks/hazards enough; why subject yourself to MORE?
I am particularly amused by the number of "cowboys" who claim that
they'll shoot a robber, dead, rather than being victimized.
Really?  The robber has already prepped himself for the risk of
entering your place.  If armed, he likely has his weapon loaded
and at hand.  Are you going to discover his presence, *fetch*
your weapon, load it and then brace yourself for the potential
of taking another life (or, having YOURS taken from you) -- all
without him noticing your presence or preparations?   Really???
<rolls eyes>  Yeah.  And pigs will fly.

If a man wanted to spy in women, he would not go through all the legal
and medical hoops of pretending to be transgender, he would just get on
and do it.  By conflating predatory men with transgender people they are
using this to try to make life intolerable for an already-vulnerable
group of people.

Exactly.
