We don’t say all Catholic priests are child molesters but we know many, many men have used the priesthood as cover to abuse children. Yes, we KNOW that actual trans women are not a threat to women, but the predatory men who will use them as cover are.

It’s time women and trans women joined forces against the common enemy - violent men. Throwing mysoginistic abuse at a woman who dares to disagree is not the answer.
