I dropped my daughter off at a volleyball camp at a local HS today and had to use the washroom. Because I had brought her to the gym, the closest one was the locker room (the school was closed for summer break).

When I walked in, I couldn't help thinking about what it would be like to be a young girl changing and showering in that room if there were a male student present.

I keep trying to understand how we got here. I don't think I ever will. How did we get to a place where men throw on dresses and lipstick and pretend to know something about what it is to be women and are somehow given more protection that actual women and girls. How did we get to a place where these men claim not to feel safe around other men, and are given access to our spaces and told how stunning and brave they are, while women who say they don't feel safe with men in their spaces are likened to Nazis and threatened with violence.

I am sick to death of being asked "where's the harm in using inclusive language?"
Let's consider something as simple as the definition of woman. If we are going by the "inclusive" definition, a woman is literally anyone who claims to "feel like a woman", whatever that means 🧵 By redefining this simple noun, the doors open wide for predators to gain access to vulnerable women and girls.
Not long ago, if a man entered a female space and exposed himself or leered at women, he could be arrested. He could be charged with indecent exposure and voyeurism.

I try to be a kind, non judgmental and accepting person. That's why I supported trans rights in the beginning. I believed them when they said they were asking only for the same respect and rights the gay rights movement had won. Unfortunately, they lied. 🧵 They want our private spaces. Our locker rooms, womens shelters, prisons, bathrooms and anywhere else that women have ever been able to feel comfortable in a vulnerable state outside of our homes.
