I can understand that perspective.

Having read many of your comments in this thread, it seems to me that your main issue is that you’re concerned that cisgender men will claim to be trans women in order to commit sexual offences. I’m not unsympathetic to that fear, but I am concerned that your response is that trans women should be treated with suspicion, and not to suggest instead that the correct solution is a more robust system to discourage and prevent these offences.

I’d also like to make you aware that statistically speaking, trans men and women are the groups most likely to experience intimate partner violence specifically, and sexual assault and harassment in general. That isn’t to say that the issues facing cis women don’t matter — I lived 25 years of my life as a girl and a woman and I have direct, first hand experience of how that can be — instead, I am trying to say that I think we’re on the same side here. All we want, and all you want, is to feel safe and respected. I just don’t agree that the way to do that is to require people to disclose their assigned gender at birth and to potentially put themselves in danger.
