I agree.

There are various fears at play: the main one is of men *pretending* to be transwomen in order to get close to and prey on women. It's possible.
There's another, much easier to argue against, that transwomen might continue to harbour aggressive male tendencies. Debunkable.

After discussions involving different opinions about policing another person's gender/sex, I think there is a confusion for women (of any kind). Men are more often a threat, so some of my friends would like them identified for safety reasons.
I think the answer is to ignore sex/gender and focus on the problem of violence and intimidation, which infects only some men, and sometimes comes from women.

Trouble is I don't know of a solution.
And my friends are still suspicious of men.

It's also good to be reminded that "mentioned in the Epstein files" may not be for bad reasons.
