It's ok to use a bathroom that matches your gender identity

Precisely.

It’s a text book logic case.

It’s people claiming that trans women will go into the bathrooms to do that. The defense didn’t just come out of no where lol.
It almost like he deliberately going to any area that might be trans friendly and try to bring in anti trans rhetoric just to make sure any trans people on the website can never find a safe place.

Could it possibly be that people who grew up in women's bodies, who were possibly sexually harassed by men, sexually assaulted by men, raped by men, got beaten up in a club because they refused a drunk man's advances or just generally objectified by men do not want to be in a situation where they are half-naked around men? How about those women from Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia who are forced to cover their faces by men, and can't get an education thanks to men, and can't go outside without a male escort thanks to men may not want to be half-naked around men?

All i'm reading here is a lot of people who need to check their privilege and acknowledge that you haven't lived the life of a woman no matter how much you may have wanted to. You have no idea what its like to grow up in a world where the opposite sex makes up 93% of global the prison population and are on average bigger, stronger and faster than you are. And that doesn't change just because you've put on a dress.

And its pretty ironic that I of all people seem to have a greater insight into the female condition than you do.
Proclaiming this doesn't make you have greater insight, it just makes you look cringey when you say that.

Or maybe the F2M transgender people actually transition physically easier than M2F. The change isn't as obvious. Not to mention F2M is a smaller number than those M2F.

Not to mention that typically men don't really care if women want to use the male bathroom with them. When is the last time someone made a big stink about that? I haven't. Sure men will get annoyed if it's a single use bathroom (let's say a bar) and there is a big line at both bathrooms and some woman decides to jump into the male bathroom, but the men can't use the female bathroom.

*Usually because drunk men can't aim when they pee is the argument but at the same time women can't even hit the toilet when they do the hover squat, so I call shenanigans.*
I got nothing to say here.

By the way you really think a country that treat women as second class citizen would be welcoming to LGBTQ+?

Not that it necessarily matters, but I was thinking he was just referring to arguments, typically, predominantly, or completely online.

I'd be shocked if he's ever met any trans people.

How many diagnoses of transsexualism are there?

It rose from 3.9 per 100,000 in 2000 to 14.22 in 2014.

Figuring out who wants sex changes, and who gets sex changes, is far more complicated.

Learn the word "transgender", and then learn some more.

"Diagnosis"? Being transgender isn't an illness. Also, still using the wrong term, there.

"Transsexualism" was retired as a diagnosis years ago so the answer to the question is zero.
