They are incredibly dangerous, and should never be taken unless absolutely necessary. Of the possible side effects, if I'm ever to be adversely effected by them, I'd chose the aneurism. The others are much, much worse. This isn't something I chose.


Yeah, yeah, yeah, and a lot of so-called doctors, are full of sh*t quacks too! If you have gender identity problems you ARE nuts, no two ways around it! Plus anyone can fly any BS claim online, now can't you?

How do you explain the brain scan studies?

Seems like cherry picking who is harmed is the way to go.

Or should we all just behave as wild animals and be done with it?

Over the top.
your fabricated outrage stems from being low informed and closed minded.

I'm considering getting one. They are pretty expensive for me though.

Since your odds of being violently attacked are greater than most people, I think you should. You have every right to protect yourself.

I have never seen anyone caring so much about a random retailer's bathrooms. Is this something that occupies your mind a lot?

The disregard and double standard for women and girls safety is shocking. Why are only transwomen's concerns about safety in the male bathroom considered valid but not cis women's concerns about OUR safety?
It's not illegal to use a bathroom of the opposite sex. What are you gonna do, call the police because a man, GASP!, walked into a women's room? Are you getting the vapors just thinking about it? Do you need the smelling salts? Toughen up.

Why do you care?

Many of the places I shop have a single dressing room area with individual rooms. If I am with friends, I leave the room. I don't care if a man sees the back of my bra and if I did, I could make the choice to not leave the stall.

The same is true of a bathroom. Just what are you doing that would give a predator access? And just why do you assume a predator isn't going to share your genitalia?

Please use the single stall bathroom if you are so concerned.
