Why are there so many transphobic bigots on here?

Understand that this is new territory for a lot of people. When I was younger, the few trans people whom I knew had literally transitioned—surgically. Now there are people with male genitalia who insist upon access and inclusion to cis women’s safe spaces, and some want to be able to steer the narrative for [b]all[/b] women.

For some cis women, especially those who have experienced sexual assault, that is concerning, and the fear is real. But it seems like no one can even have a discussion or conversation about it without immediately being labeled "transphobic". Unless we’re eventually headed to where everything is coed, there’s a lot left to talk about.

I admit, there’s a lot that I don’t understand. But I try not to judge, but to listen and be respectful, because I have friends in this community and always have.
