The cis women in the 80s that were afraid of trans women and drag queens may have been victims of abuse of cis men, and those homophobic and misogynistic cis men pushing fear and hate as propaganda.

Or like the transphobia not differentiating creepy ass pervy rapist cis men from trans women, putting us in the same category.

Like when people blame all animals for either past trauma or all dogs that even look remotely like the breed of the dog from your trauma.

Like I seriously question if there was EVER a justified fear of non-passing trans women in women’s restrooms. Because at this point, it seems like it was cis men the whole time and all of this has ALWAYS been unjustified scapegoating by fearmongering us.

Which then begs the question of why cis people aren’t also blaming cis men,along with cis women? Gender segregation is not a solution for sexual abuse. In fact, there is overwhelming amounts of evidence that it’s explicitly counterproductive and causatively results in abuse and bigotry.
