NO, turning the words around just makes you ignorant of knowing anything about trans people

Real articles on real websites. Your continued refusal to accept facts is becoming quite interesting.

Does he have to dress as a woman? Can't he just say, " I'm a woman" and walk in? Who says there is a dress code for a trans who wants to go into a girls bathroom. Are there trans who dress like macho men and fit a different definition of trans? Weren't some of the Village People dressed like construction workers? Oh wait, they were just gay? Or....well now I'm confused, can a gay man be a transman er woman? Wow, I'm sorry this is tough!

If trans people were saying... "ew, a straight normal woman, she is so gross and I don't want to use the same bathroom as her"...
then yes, the twisting of words you are trying to use would work

Christian conspiracy sites are not news sites..all web sites are not created equal.
You can not make laws based on feelings...it is inherently subjective. If you "feel" like there is a threat. That does not mean there is one.
If you feel like your husband cheated on you. That does not mean he did.
People do not make you "feel" anyway..we decide how we take others actions, ourselves.
If some one hurts , or attempts to hurt some one they should be punished.
You can't go around arresting people because you "feel like they might do something....."
I would bet that every single time "feel good" legislation has been passed, it has hurt innocent people, without helping any.

What women are saying is that they don't want to share the bathroom or changing room with any biological MALE, no matter what he thinks or how he dresses. These laws don't set any standards for which people can and cannot enter, either, as some have tried to claim. It's all about how one "feels", and what they want.

According to NYC, if you feel like a woman, they welcome you into the ladies' rooms -

No standards, no requirements, no rules. We are already seeing case after case after case of men in ladies' rooms, doing bad things. That isn't about a "feeling": that's about the facts!
Now that the LIE that there would be standards has been tossed out, let's talk about that. These rules allow any man who wants to enter a ladies' room, at any time. Are you really naive enough to think that perverts won't take advantage? They already are.

Prove that it is now happening at a substantially higher rate.
Or is it that its so sociopolitically overblown that you can find articles about it more frequently

This is just taking a leak they legalized right?
They didn't legalize rape or assault or oogling did they?
I think that's fair...for taking a leak not to be a criminal cat.

No, a very small subset of American conservative women are scare of using the same bathroom as a transgender...
Not all women, not a lot of women, not most women, not your average woman..
Just the relatively small subset of conservative media followers.
I think most women could care less if you leave them alone.
Really it's only conservatives who care what you do when not hurting anyone else...
Conservatives at best make up 25% of the population. With women being say 6% of that.. Maybe 5% after you factor for the percent of conservative women who arnt afraid of much..
So I think it would be fair to say something like :
"Around 12% of women are afraid to piss next to a man."
I'm not counting being pee shy, I guess...

....(1) Meaning, any guy that wants can waltz in to bathrooms, locker rooms, and wherever, and stare at women, and the laws would allow this.
... (2) Some creep can watch kids changing clothes, legally, under these laws.
How many women and girls have to be victims before you see this as a problem? What number constitutes an acceptable risk?

(1) Wrong. That BEHAVIOR is still illegal. He can be reported and detained and charged under existing laws if proved true.
(2) Wrong. That BEHAVIOR is still illegal. He can be reported and detained and charged under existing laws if proved true.
Please educate yourself on the laws before claiming and spreading untruths. All the the BEHAVIORS you mentioned were illegal last year, this year, and next year. These new gender-neutral laws do not change that truth. No matter how "icky" you might find "those people".
