I've been EXTREMELY uncomfortable with how trans women being forced to use the men's room is (rightfully) portrayed as a tragedy... while trans men being forced into the women's is played as a comedy. "Haha, you want THIS guy to use the ladies room?" As if that guy isn't in major danger.
Stop saying "Will trans men be welcomed into women's spaces?" as some kind of rhetorical gotcha, as though trans men have not been beaten and KILLED after being FORCED into women's spaces.
Your ignorance of trans men's oppression due to their invisiblisation does NOT a clever comeback make.

TDOR reminded me why #TransJoyIsResistance. Murder of a trans person is not just about killing the individual but terrorising the rest of us to stay/get back in the closet. They want us afraid or in despair. Our joy living our authentic lives is our defiance of the violence they inflict upon us.

I've taken 50,000 Police 101/999 calls. I was the Hate Crime Analyst for 3 years, built BI reports for CSE. Never encountered a report of a trans woman using bathroom access to commit crime. Encountered lots of reports of violence & harassment against trans women though. Also: trans women are women.
