Did anyone claim that?

As a cis man I don’t feel it’s my place to tell cis women that they need to suck it up and just get over whatever trauma they might have around AMAB people, “for the cause.”

These aren’t my concerns, I’m not a woman and never had to fight for things like a safe space for my gender, and I won’t pretend to speak for them. I’m familiar with the debate however, which usually centers on rape crisis centers, gender-segregated accommodations on trains, and similar situations. The concern isn’t about assault, and frankly I think the concerns are overblown, but as I’ve said… my experience in life is profoundly different from a woman traumatized by men. For me there’s no problem accepting trans women as women, but again, I have the privilege of having no baggage with AMAB people.

Are there any protections in place to assure that doesn’t happen?
