> Trans people want to use the bathrooms and compete on athletics teams corresponding to their identity. It sure feels like intolerance when this choice is denied from trans people.

It's a dangerous path you appear to be on - asking women, almost exclusively, to share their traditionally safe spaces with people they consider to be men.

Attacking people on these two points will be an attack that is almost exclusively on women, and society doesn't tolerate that.

Men, on the whole, aren't going to get bent out of shape if women come into their bathrooms or want to compete with them on the field. It's women who want the separate bathrooms, and women who want to compete athletically with other women.

Given the prevalence of sexual violence in our society and the difficulty of getting an appropriate response, I find this statement incredibly ironic. (Out of context, I admit, but it's hard to reconcile the two views.)

#MeToo is one source of evidence that society absolutely tolerates attacks on women.

Isn't that evidence that society doesn't tolerate these things? Once it was out in the open, society rushed to condemn it. Everywhere. Everyone.

It could only happen when society did not know about it. When it was kept secret.

Society absolutely does not tolerate attacks on women, as the #MeToo movement showed.
