> Nobody's saying that men who falsely claim to be women should have access to women's spaces.

What are they saying?

That trans women are women.

  • Maybe that's just a fad that will blow over. Nobody took that idea seriously until a few years ago. On Google Trends, peak "transgender" was in 2018. Transgenders are around 0.6% of the US population. Niche issue.

  • Yup, that's the only thing any company or person can say without causing a Twitter storm against them. By saying this they can simply avoid clarifying what they mean by this. I think all these public personalities will have a much harder time if they were asked a clearer question:

    Should any man who self ids as a woman have access to women's private spaces.

    I don't see a large company ever answering that in yes/no.
