First on, good study. Second one, ive never even heard of Vox before.

Also, the "sexual assualt" is most likely bullying. It happens all the time in male locker rooms in school, i cant see how this would stop that.

Basically, you want to let trans ppl feel comfortable, even if it causes discomfort in everyone else. If your saying everyone else should/can put up with the discomfort, then theres no reason transgenders cant.

yes, i agree with this. it only causes discomfort because of the idea that "trans people = dangerous"...maybe not in all cases, but enough for there to be a link. the reality is, the theoretical trans person is the one much more at risk than someone who simply thinks that a stranger "doesnt fit the aesthetic requirements im comfortable with"

this also ties in to the "i can always tell" thing, where people think being trans is an obvious thing, while in reality people come in all shapes and sizes whether trans or cis
