I want to put the immediate caveat in that this may be clumsy and no offence is intended. I'm generally supportive of the view that 'trans women are women. I have two areas of internal conflict, which I suspect in many ways will act as a 'win' for the culture war strirrers, which are competitive sport and spaces for vulnerable women and girls.
The existence of trans-women is definitely used as a culture weapon, and made to seem both far more prevalent, and far more dangerous than that existence is. It's also become a subject that's so toxic, that it's bordering on impossible for sympathetic politicians to have nuanced conversation on the subject, and just used by gutter journalists as an opportunity for a "gotcha" moment, as well as being insanely reductive (the "I identify a penguin" type bullshit). It's let to Reform types believing that you've got a good chunk of all kids identifying as this and that and theother, and that the frequency and ease in which one may change their identity, and the loopholes and opportunities it may offer a nefarious character, and that a girl is taking a risk every time she goes to the toilet.
