The pumped up trans-panic warnings of trans predators has not been born out. I'm not going for moral superiority, i'm treating the weirdo obsessives (of which i don't consider you one) with nothing but disdain, in the same way I would have treated the black-panic of of the 50's, or the gay panic in the 70's/80's.

What I won't do, is treat these people as in anyway genuinely serious or concerned.

How are you quantifying "a far bigger risk?" How much bigger? On what data points?

You see, it's not all that can be said. One of these things isn't like the other, and there is no moral superiority in pandering to bigotry, either.
