I don't know you or your day-to-day behavior. Nor if you have no problem passing as a woman, or if you look like a lumberjack with a beard. If you feel more comfortable in women's toilets, fine. but would you continue to, if those toilets were filled with masculine-looking men?

It is so bafflingly and infuriatingly ahistorical to talk about "separate women's toilets" as a big feminist victory when it was absolutely the result of Victorian misogyny?

TERFs are busy rewriting this history just as they're busy writing the version of the Holocaust where no trans women were killed in the camps for being trans (and in fact the Nazi leadership were all trans)
