Sure, transwomen should be kept out of women's prisons, sports, shelters and bathrooms, and they shouldn't be allowed to cause children to become confused about their bodies. Absolutely. But for most ordinary people, we look at a transwoman and our first thought is, "No way."
When people say "Transwomen are women", I want to ask them this (so here I am asking it):
If you are a woman-attracted person, i.e., a straight cis-man or a lesbian cis-woman*, would you be willing, in principle, to have sex with a transwoman? Of course you wouldn't. Because transwomen are men. Because they have a penis. And if you only like women you aren't going to have sex with a body with a penis. Even if you don't want to touch it or suck it or put it in you, *he's* going to want you to. This is just so obvious I don't know why people don't talk about it in any of these talks about reasonable restrictions on the rights of transgender people. It's not their rights that carry the day, it's the fact of total sexual incompatibility with people who like women.
If a man tries to say he *would* have sex with a transwoman, then he is saying he is at least somewhat bisexual (or truly gay). Fine, be who you are. But be honest that you are attracted to a man. If you would fuck a transwoman, you're not straight.
If a woman says she would have sex with a transwoman, then she is saying that she is really at least somewhat bisexual (or really straight.) Again, fine, but be honest about what you are attracted to.
I will bet that 95% of "women" who say they are attracted to transwomen are really transwomen themselves trying to hope that you didn't notice it when you asked them the question. Just like transwomen who claim that "real" lesbians (like them) embrace transwomen when of course "real" lesbians want nothing to do with them.
As soon as you get talking about actual sexual activity, the whole "transwomen are women, transmen are men" thing collapses like a cheap lawn chair. Only homosexuals are attracted to trans people, and transitioning was what the transitioners did to avoid having to be gay!
*I apologize for calling people cis because I think it's a slur to refer to perfectly normal people with made-up words like cis. It's like calling someone "Whitey". I just want to be absolutely clear that when I talk about "men" and "women" I don't mean that women need to be called cis in order not to have transwomen included therein.
