The whole trans issue won't affect many men, which is honestly why I think its gained such traction in such a short space of time. I find the way to effectively 'wake men up' to this issue is to bring their female relatives into it. If you ask a man if he has an issue with men changing next to women he will on the whole say no, as men aren't dangerous. Ask him if he would be fine with his daughter/mother/wife getting changed and a bloke walking in and getting naked next to her, he will be enraged. Not all men of course. But every man I have spoke to about this saw no issue until I tailored it to people in his family. Then suddenly he 'got it' and why its not right.

Not saying all men would not get why its problematic. Just the men I have spoke to about this don't seem to, until I go a little deeper into what its about.
