Your semi-regular reminder that if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans to gain access to women's spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women. ~ @harriet1marsden Liberal Beliefs, Capitalism, Politics, Intersectional Feminist, Anti Religion, Patriarchy, Life Advice, Weird Facts, Tumblr Posts

Propaganda is when you invent a fear that doesn't exist, like the idea that cisgender women are less safe in restrooms with transgender women. There is NO evidence that male violence against women happens more in restrooms than anywhere else (which is to say, it is too high everywhere). There is even less evidence that transwomen pose a threat to ciswomen. This is a sociology page, so it should come as no surprise that we prefer to base our conclusions on evidence, not assertions.
