Imo it's a tricky subject to solve without harming the rights of either group, imo everyone should be demanding that the Government comes up with a solution that pleases both sides rather than forcing either side to do something that most of them aren't comfortable doing.
And name calling isn't gonna help either I feel.

There is no way to please everyone, the only answer is ever compromise but unfortunately a large section of trans rights activism, and a section that's gaining significant traction with legislators and governments, simply won't accept that any compromise on this should never, ever, for any reason, place "individual comfort" or "desire for acceptance" above genuine physical safety concerns. That's the crux of what has women, IMO quite rightly, concerned about their rights and safety. The refusal to conceed that there IS a problem at all (and again I'll just say it; a rhetoric that comes prescribed straight from organisations like Stonewall) has inevitably lead to anger. It's gaslighting
. Concerns that dangerous men will use new legislation to gain access to victims is met with "no never!" or at best "maybe but there's no proof of that". It's a flat out lie. They will, they do, they have.
