I’m torn on this issue. On one hand I want to protect kids and women from predator men who pretend to be women going into the women’s bathroom/dressing room/locker room.
On the other hand this gender dysphoria thing is real. The people I have empathy for is those who truly are mentally mismatched with the gender their body is. It must be a living hell. Of course it is a form of mental illness. I can’t even imagine what it would be like. I doubt there will ever be a cure for this. It’s how God or a quirk of nature made them.
Still; those who are vulnerable must be protected from the predators and they trump the needs of those with this mental illness IMHO.
“On the other hand this gender dysphoria thing is real.”
The tiny fraction who truly suffer from that are severely ill, mentally ill. They need confinement and treatment.

Unlike you I believe there will be a ire or a prevention. One we figure out what causes it. I am nearly positive it happens in utero during the tiny margin of time when the brain’s gender and sexual pathways are determined. It’s like one week. Might be shorter.
To think that many if not most American young women have uteri containing bisphenol A, an endocrine disrupting plastic! That alone could be what is messing with our sexual/gender problems. Or it could be something else. But I believe it is environmental on a helpless first trimester fetus, inside a helpless young woman’s uterus.
