TL:DR
Despite the hysteria surrounding trans people and bathrooms, several studies have found that nondiscrimination laws that protect trans people’s right to use public facilities in accordance with their gender identity don’t lead to an increase in sexual assaults. School officials, experts on sexual assault prevention and police departments all agree that protecting trans people poses no threat to cis women and girls.
By contrast, a large number of trans people, including kids, report experiencing harassment, humiliation or even violence when using a public restroom, along with other problems due to fear of harassment.
Trans youth who had restricted access to restroom/locker rooms were at higher risk of sexual assault, and they were no more likely to commit sexual violence. States that ban trans kids from using facilities consistent with their gender identity reported the same rate of sexual violence as states that didn’t have such bans.
I’ve had a man stand outside the bathroom at a restuarant and then assault me for being trans, I pass great but my voice is a dead giveaway and he must have heard me talking at our table. It seems to me assholes and creeps seem to be set on harassing us and not the other way around.

that is 100% the case, dude… it ain’t you or anyone like you… they’re just cowards who need someone to bully, because they’re scared out of their little minds…
standing up to them pretty much cures it immediately
