They say it's easier to do so but rely on say-so alone. Without some indicator that the person is actually trans and not just faking it to gain access to women-only services it's a safeguarding nightmare that has already happened. There are many more examples if you want them.
"The "real-life test" is gender-policing and needs to go."
Now you're saying this. Meanwhile, we find "cis" deeply offensive and would rather not have it used.
Trans people have rights enshrined in law and are protected from discrimination. Now it seems some of them want to...
...discriminate against natal women and use "transphobia" to silence us. No. The more they try to get us to accept being pushed aside, the more we will fight back. Trans rights and women's rights are different sets of rights.

...targeting white middle-class women, they're doing it wrong. They're catching every other woman in their net and we're having none of it. Save your new words for yourselves and leave us out of it.
