On scary men

Eccentric Flower: In which epiphanies come from the strangest places:

This is when it dawned on me: The people who don't want transwomen in the women's toilets (and that's always the real issue, they don't give a shit about transmen in the men's toilets) hate and fear men even more than I do. They figure all men are voyeurs or potential rapists or what-have-you. Fear is at the heart of this hatred. It's not a rejection of "weirdness" or "not like us," which is what I originally assumed was the root cause. There may be some of that, sure. But the overwhelming majority of the hostility is because they are scared of what men do.
