Tried to read the wiki, got very confused, commenting in the hopes that one day I may be able to read this thread, be educated properly & add to the discussion
Welcome! A lot of us started off in the same situation.
Originally it took years for a man to officially be classed as Transexual. It was a long process, lots of hurdles and very few men reached the finishing line. This meant that the numbers were low and most didn't present a threat to women. They also - on the whole - didn't want to attract attention, just live quietly.
This has changed, and now any man can simply declare himself as "Trans" and - until recently - access all women's spaces. This includes
grape centres, hospital wards,
les meetings, changing areas, sports and of course toilets.
Unsurprisingly this has attracted the worst type of men, and these present a danger to women. Not only a physical threat, but a threat to women's privacy, dignity and autonomy.
The recent Supreme Court ruling has said that the law was misinterpreted, and that single-sex has always meant single-sex, and that these men should not have been allowed access to them.
There is now an angry push back from the Trans Rights Activists, with protests being held. The rhetoric is that this ruling is "anti Trans". The solution, that they use unisex facilities or have their own spaces, is unacceptable to them.
Meanwhile, the majority of women simply want to regain their own spaces, free from all men - however they "identify".
