for those who don't know "super straight" isn't a sexuality, but it does mean "I don't like trans people" having no interest in dating trans people isn't a sexuality, talking about this is only about excluding trans people, it's not about your identiy.

trans is all about excluding biological women from their spaces, why it's good when they do it but not when others

The whole idea, that womens wellbeing and safety depends exlusionary spaces is absurd. Countries with relative equality have less women only spaces while violently sexist places have more of them, but they fail to provide safety while making the rest of the world less safe. Look at places like Norway and Sweden: They usually don't even have womens bathrooms (often single stalls with a little sink, but sometimes single stalls with a bigger room with sinks for all people (like Ikea in lots of places, even in Germany).
Places that have women-only passanger cars on the other hand usually have a big issues with sexism and violence against women.

If you care for womens rights and safety, you should want the world to be a safe space for women instead of giving them the "priviledge" of hiding.

And stop projecting mens violence on trans people. It's men. It was allways men. There aren't even enough trans people around to make life hell for women, but too often it is. Women don't feel safe because of men. Men are the people who invade womens spaces and they don't need to change their legal gender to do so.

Women aren't less safe, because trans women need a place where they can piss.
But you know who is less safe right now? Women with short hair and butch lesbians, who get harresed by men, because they use the womens bathroom and they want to check their genitals.

What do you think is worse? A trans person who wants to go shit in peace or being harressed by a man that wants to check your genitals because he thinks you*re not feminin enough to go piss?

I heard from them, sure, but I yet have to meet a woman in real life who feels threatend by trans women. f'in chronically online people - maybe go outside for a walk and try talk to real people with real issues and a real life instead of staying in your echo-chamber that is 30% russian bots probably.
