People want sports acheivements for social currency. Do you honestly believe that men will get that respect from other men by competing against women? That is why no man would do it, and you would have to be completely delusional to think that they would.
Moreover, there is no social benefit for a man to use a women's restroom. There is a longer wait time, and nothing inside to see but a row of stalls. He does not gain anything by going in there, and the sign on the door was not magically keeping him out in the first place.
No one is risking the social consequences of cross-dressing for funsies. It is an imaginary boogeyman that exists only in your head.
What is a new phenomenon? Transgenderism? Transgenderism (or something like it, different cultures have different concepts and words for similar phenomenons) has existed for literally thousands of years. Plenty of Asian, Middle Eastern, and African civilizations, some of whom older than pretty much any Anglo or Germanic civilization, have texts about them. Even in the West the Roman emperor Elagabalus was almost certainly transgender (and was killed partly for that reason, the other reason being they were admittedly probably the most incompetent emperor Rome ever had).
Do you have any evidence besides fearmongering?
I assume you're talking about Janiah Monroe? A trans woman who has a history of genital mutilation, regularly took hormones, and requests genital reassignment surgery?
You think that completely cisgendered men are going to start doing the same so they can be sent to a women's prison to start raping as many women as they can?
Also, what is your beef here? That this is a trans problem? What do you only give a shit about the rampant sexual assault problem our privatized prisons have when it's a trans woman raping cisgendered women? I do view people like Janiah Monroe raping fellow prisoners as a serious issue because I view prison rape and all of the other terrible shit going on in our prisons as a serious problem because the American prison system doesn't give a shit about the people sent there and in fact is incentivized to keep criminals repeat-offending so they can be used as slave labor. This isn't a trans issue this is a prison issue, and it isn't just female prisoners getting assaulted by trans women that's a problem. A lot more cis women get assaulted by cis women and a lot more cis men get assaulted by cis men in prison than cis women getting assaulted by trans women. Oh, and a lot more trans women get assaulted in male prisons than cis women get assaulted by trans women. Do you care about them?
Not really, because it actually isn't half as common as you seem to think and more importantly there isn't nearly enough data on it.
You may not realize this but there are in fact rules trans athletes must follow to compete in most promotions and events, all of which requires extensive hormonal therapy for a year or more and which does in fact lessen muscle mass, density, bone density, etc. To put it another way, trans women are weaker than they'd be without transitioning and living as cis men.
The only question is whether there can be meaningful competition between trans women and cis women and as far as I can tell we don't actually really know yet, despite people on both sides of the debate thinking we do.
So no, I don't have much to comment on this issue because I don't like arguing from a position of ignorance.
So trans women are weaker than cis men, but as we've seen, are still at an unfair advantage to cis women and your argument is "as far as I can tell we don't actually really know yet?" You later admitted you're arguing from ignorance...
You also seemed to confuse a trans woman raping in the woman's prison as cis men trying to get into the woman's prison and then steered the conversation to be about prison rape. Your post even admits (although you tried to hide it) that males (and by extention trans women) have an advantage over women (and cis men) when it comes to rape... You know what I'm talking about.

Except we have not seen that. Where are all the transgender athletes out-performing their cisgenders competitors? If that was true, then we would expect every transgender athlete to hold the top position in their respective sport, and we do not.
Rape is your stated concern. Are you concerned about cisgender men raping cisgender men? Are you concerned about cisgender women raping cisgender women? How about cisgender men raping transgender women? It seems you only care about rape when it fits your narrative.
We've already seen a transgender athlete win the women's weightlifting.
It was Trocity's concern. My concern is there are men who, as far as I can tell, are using the blurred line of what it means to be male and female for their own selfish needs. If anyone cares to watch any of the videos I posted, they'll find a homosexual male offended at media trying to portray trans men who identify as "gay" or "femboy" to have sex with gay men as acceptable. Would you be okay with having sex with a trans man, Adam?

Hey, why is everyone ignoring these issues? It's almost as if a lot of the users here just want to promote a certain narrative that is just "lol, let's laugh at Republicans"
Not that I'm against that, but doesn't anyone have anything else on here?
