and still say that it's just women abusing some new found power we have (disagree completely with this assessment btw) and not based on genuine and very real issues

If you’re gonna disagree with things I’ve said, you should at least understand the things I’ve said first.
I did say that some people may have genuine concerns, that’s not a question, but those concerns are now deeply embedded within an anti-trans movement that in my view, is majorly based in hatred and bigotry, those concerns are being used by bigots as a stick to beat down an entire demographic of people, just for being who they are and if it was any other demographic, it would definitely not be allowed to happen..
And also to your point of, ‘who’s being bullied’ people are losing jobs or support or whatever, violent crimes against trans people have quadrupled over the past couple of years, people are being physically attacked and often times killed, for who they are, so please, save some of your empathy for the people who are actually having harm done to them over this shall we.
