If my understanding is correct that can only mean one of two things
‘All trans women represent a threat to women’
‘All men represent a threat to women’
I’ve got a good friend who is trans male to female and I’d love to put her in a room with you whilst some of you talk the way you do on the issue, you would be picking your teeth up from the floor in seconds

Men, as a class, are stronger and more prone to violence than women, as a class. Men, as a class, pose a risk to women. It is for the dignity and the safety of, and fairness towards, women that we provide segregated spaces for them: toilets, trauma care, prisons, sports. As someone who says they are trans and
claims to be a woman is actually still a man, all the above applies.
All trans-identifying males are a risk to women on the same basis as all non-trans-identifying males, except with the aggravating factor that non-trans-identifying males are not routinely arguing for the default right to access female safe spaces.
And your friend is not a woman of any kind, nor is it correct to refer to them in the third person as “she”. He is a man, regardless of how he sees himself and regardless of what he has told you. He was born male, he is male, he will die male. He is male, therefore he is a man, and he cannot be an woman, because a woman is an adult human female. And if he is liable to punch people’s teeth out for saying so - well that’s very male behaviour isn’t it.
I have, and will continue to, to discuss these issues, face to face, politely but insistently, with trans identifying individuals of my acquaintance, of which there are several.
