Triggers for sexual assault, suicide and transphobia inside, beware.

there's this unfortunately fairly pervasive myth that men become trans women so that they can enter bathrooms and perv on women.

This is screwed up for a number of reasons, but the one I want to discuss today is simply that being trans is horrible. Don't get me wrong, it's better than dysphoria, but the idea that someone who isn't trans would choose to be trans to opportunistically prey on women is absolutely laughable.

A full 50% of trans folk attempt suicide by the time they reach adulthood, and the true figure is likely much higher. They face a lifetime of bullying and torment, and suffer greatly. The idea that one would tolerate all of that to get thrills is absolutely absurd and disgusting and I've personally disowned people who believe it.

That's all, have a great day.
