There's no history of men claiming to be transgender going into restrooms to assault women. It's a complete transphobic fantasy used to cause real harm to transgender women, and it's why I'm suspicious whenever I see people like you talking about athletic ability, because it's never really about the athletes. Sooner or later you show your true colors and pull the Man-in-a-Dress changing room boogeyman card.
I read one case where this actually happened. I think it was about a man dressing up as a woman and using his purse to videotape women using the toilet. Maybe I can dig it up. Been awhile.

That's the only case I know of.

The whole bathroom bullshit is way overblown. Women jump into male bathrooms all the time. No one is clamoring that is incredibly dangerous.
Because women don't rape men.

"Ooh! Let me pull out of my ass this one story of this one woman who..."

Yeah, whatever. 99.9% of women do not rape men.

Which is why, btw, there very, VERY few FTM who are loudly saying they want to use male toilets, changing rooms or prisons. It's always the other way around... what a... coincidence. Yes, that's the word.
You missed that one by a mile.

I will give you a clue, we got transphobes saying they will physically stop any M2F transgender person from entering a woman's bathroom by any means including violence. Because men rape.

Now follow me with this concept. What if a woman steps into a male bathroom? Even if it has other men in there? Now I know the concept is weird, but what if you apply the same logic, that men rape.

So what does that mean? One women among men in a male bathroom and one M2F trans person among other women.

Think about it all you want. I will give you a clue, it's not about women raping men.

Take your time.

Oh my yiffing GODS.

It's an accurate description, not a slur. You don't get to decide something is a slur just because it's not flattering.

I know better than that.
What makes your quote of a children's book writer in any way compelling as evidence or a citation?
