The 'bullied in the mens room' argument doesn't really hold up either, as there have been no attacks on transgender people in mens toilets (there ARE reports of transgender people attacking others in the bathroom of their 'preferred sex' though), none on record anyway. On the other hand there are hoards of reports about gay men being beaten up in loos. Does this mean gay men should be in the womens also as they are bullied and in danger?

Or is the answer to tackle toxic masculinity and the male violence, that everyone seems to be scared of...

People say 'oh, if a transwoman attacks you in the womens there are laws to protect you' and such. But equally, this is true the opposite way. If a transwoman was attacked in the mens, there are the same laws that could be used. So I kinda...don't get it. Though I do understand why not many people like to use the mens...given the amount of violence committed by males for random reasons.
