I have no problem answering “what if” questions regarding misinformation about my own circumstances.

That’s cool for you, but you’re not trans and don’t face exclusion based on the misguided assumptions people have about you. You don’t have bigots actively generating “what if” debates to try and normalise exclusion towards you.

To you, it’s just a sometimes thing. For me, it’s an active part of a campaign driven by people trying to remove our rights, and it’s explicitly designed to sound reasonable, and be repeated innocently by people who don’t know any better.

This is all hypothetical to you. To me, it’s a tool used to hurt me and my community.
