I can't wait for four more years and beyond of hearing these same talking points over and over and over again. I could put up an argument here, but it's been done before and better, and frankly, I'm just so tired today.
As a response to the parent, this is antagonistic and uncharitable. The parent wasn't interested in arguing, and didn't even deny this specific point. I'm not saying they wouldn't, but there's plenty that can be easily denied in the GP (see my other comment), and this is not one of the "easy" ones. If women generally feel uncomfortable with trans-women in their bathrooms, that's not an unreasonable argument to make. The problem is that almost every time the argument is made, it's made unreasonably, using hatred or support for violence.

Not really though. What typically happens is that a perfectly reasonable statement about respecting women's boundaries, or the importance of female-only spaces, or the impossibility of men being women, gets labelled as "hatred" despite no hate being expressed.
