- implicitly equates "trans women" with "men" yet again
- see especially the thread to which the boost is responding
“
It's fair for women–any women, of any journey–to complain about men coming into women's spaces to be pervy. It would also be fair to complain about women coming into women's spaces to be pervy. There are spaces where pervy is allowed or encouraged, and those are where that's appropriate regardless. Putting that onto transwomen is not fair or right, and while she didn't explicitly do that, it's absolutely what she was implying.

“
I agree that they are less hostile about men in their space than about trans women. Because they have this bizarre brain disconnect from reality that tells them that it isn't fair this person gets into the space without having to have grown up being treated as a woman in our society. Instead of realizing that if anything, these women have given up that shade of privilege to be who they are inside.
And that it can't possibly have been easier to have lived with that battle inside.
They are angry because they think trans women haven't had the hurt they have. Which makes them fucking self centered martyr assholes.
Sorry, very few things piss me off more than minorities who punch down.
