I had no idea (until just now) that the biological male at the center of the Wi Spa incident was a registered sex offender with a history of indecent exposure, and has now been charged with indecent exposure at Wi Spa. The original incident and subsequent protests were covered pretty heavily, but this new information seems to have slipped by with hardly a mention. Whenever I have arguments with friends about whether or not trans women are actually women (an argument that wouldn’t even have happened five years ago), one common tactic is for the “trans ally” side to say, “What difference does it make? What’s the harm?” and when the response is men invading women’s spaces, men taking women’s athletic scholarships, the erasure of women, etc., the answer is that almost no one is trying to do that. But, people are clever, and if you set up a system that can be exploited, some people will exploit it. And, here we now are.
Trans women are mental patients no different than those who stand on street corners believing that they are Jesus Christ or Napoleon. They don't need to be treated poorly, but they don't need their delusions validated by the general public, either.
