I have no idea what there is not to understand about this…and why it’s mostly men complaining about “protecting women’s spaces”, lol.
This might upset some people, and you know what? Good.
If this upsets you, at least the others will know and the trash can take itself out.
It is called paternalist protectivism and it is a form of blatant sexism. Trump himself said “I am going to protect women (ie from trans women) either they want it or not”.
It is the same form of disregard for consent we usually call “rape culture”.
I think this was him ensuring the girls he/his kids/future generations rape(d) were/won’t be transgender.
