Are we really hurting women?

Whether it’s the news, the people around me, or anywhere else, I keep seeing the world hate and denounce trans people for wanting to be part of their identity’s spaces. I keep hearing about trans women invading women’s sports and bathrooms and sacred spaces. What if I’m really in the wrong here? The last thing I would ever want to do is make women feel uncomfortable or invalidate their sense of womanhood. I don’t want to be seen as an invader.

Am I really such a poison to the world? I really wish I could just be the man I’m supposed to be… But I can’t. Even long time politicians who have supported us like Gavin Newsom are changing their tune. Maybe the tides of history are really against us with this one. Maybe I should not even try.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the kind words. They mean so much to me. In all honesty, I wrote this while in a bit of a depressive phase. I saw the news about Newsom (who I didn’t even care much for anyway) and I suppose I kinda panicked and went on a spiral. Looking back, it does seem like it’s seeking for attention/validation, so I apologize.

I see the genuine intentions/words and love that all of you have for cis women, and I see cis women supporting us too. That has to tell the world something about this community. Maybe not now, but soon.
