Defending women's restrooms is the only viable strategy for defending women's shelters and prisons - facilities where women can't opt out by peeing elsewhere and where they must close their eyes and sleep no matter who the government has dictated is free to do anything they please to the women's bodies and souls, pending an official "oopsy" that has no power to undo the harm or the injustice.
That women fought to have sex-segregated washrooms so that they, like men, were free to go out in public for more than a few hours at a time shouldn't be forgotten. To use the existing washrooms then meant that men (#notallmen) would prey upon them. A century later, we're returning to that equation: Women are to be prey, not people.
No TERF would recognize me as a TERF, but even I can see and acknowledge these facts.
Edit: Rhys McKinnon's now done me the favor of referring to the women he cheats out of sports achievements as his "prey."
