    First of, it’s not just threats, real assaults have happened already. And tons of cases of women complaining about not wanting to see male genitalia in locker rooms exist.

    Second, I would argue that at least the white woman identifying as black is just as harmless, if not more.

      Are trans people more likely to assault than the rest of the population? The fear you feel is implemented by societal norm and you are attempting to justify it which makes your standards way less than for changing your mind. What would change your mind on this is what you need to figure out. Then you ask yourself if that’s a reasonable amount of skepticism. You can work through your bias and become a better and less hateful person. I believe in you.

      More assaults take place against trans people than are made by trans people.

      I don’t want to see old man’s balls in men’s locker room either but the way to deal with that is to not stare at other’s naked bodies.

      Rachel Dolezal filed hate crime charges based on her false racial identity. That isn’t harmless. It us a different situation because she does identify as white at times.
