The counterpoint is that in the same week I'll have had to spend hours at a pretentious art installation and sit through a college theatre production of Shrek The Musical. As a socially awkward physics geek who struggles with noise and bright lights.

To be clear:
1 - Trans rights shouldn't be ignored because of people's ignorance and bigotry
2 - Banning trans women in 'female spaces' means including trans men instead
3 - of every 100 women, 1 trans women will be affected and many more cis women who don't meet an arbitrary 'feminity' standard.

This is so bad.
