See, I've met some perfectly normal trans people. But I've also met some full-blown, Silence of the Lambs crazy bitches-- like scary shit. Now, I don't know if Jehanne or other trans people here are part of a community of trans people-- but I'm curious. . . have they not met those psycho bitches, or is that just a misapprehension I have due to a very small sample size? (I'd say I've met less than a dozen trans people, and really interacted with maybe half of that)
We can state with confidence that there are more cis (and binary) "silence of the lambs crazy bitches" by brute force of demographics. If any of the ladies in the ladies room are going to do harm to my daughters it would be a straight white cisgendered female. I'd worry more, frankly, that some cis male is going to touch my sons in the men's room.
Honestly, I tend not to worry about other peoples imaginary boogeymen, though. We're discussing people, not monsters..that you perceive them -as- monsters probably goes a long way to explaining your comments and opinions. Here's something to consider. You probably don't have an accurate count of how many trans (or non binary) people you've met or interacted with. You're looking for bigfoot..so you don't notice Stephanie.
What you're thinking of, what you have in mind when you hear the word trans..is, apparently, a kidnapping child molester. Can you appreciate how this is a "you" problem, not a "them" problem?
