We lost a perfectly winnable election partly because voters saw progressives tied up in knots over this issue and wondered where common sense he gone. It’s a big deal for the tiny fraction of the population who have gender dysphoria but to the average working person it’s irrelevant.

I do agree women should not be described as bigots if they want female only spaces kept as they are. The fight for equality is only decades old and these gains are not in cement. The fact it was progressives who tried to dismantle them is shocking. If we want to build more unisex facilities- that’s great but sending trans women to a women’s shelter or prison is madness.

If I was to suggest as a white male how my black family and friends should feel safe and comfortable around that would be seen as insensitive and inappropriate
