People should be allowed to identify with whatever gender they want to.

But surely common sense should prevail when we talk about the use of public spaces, sports etc. Which i believe is what JK Rowling referred to. If biological woman do not feel safe sharing a toilet with transgender woman then that should in my opinion be the end of the story. Based on the fact that there is a clear physical difference between the two. Quite literally if that was ever to become a law in my country, it would EASILY be abused - and would open up an exploitable avenue for legitimate criminals.

Same goes with sports, males are now identifying as female then proceed to go and compete with females with zero hormonal balances or surgeries etc. Surelt thats rediculous and dangerous. Imagine if Francis Nganhou decided to be female tomorrow (and imagine it was a legitimate case). Then he decides to continue competing in the UFC with other females. As ridiculous as that sounds, based on some peoples opinions which lack common sense, we should allow this. Quite literally he will kill the first female he fights. And I dont mean knock out I mean literally they will die.

I can understand how cis women can feel unsafe with a transwoman in the toilets. HOWEVER, do you realise how unsafe transwomen are in a toilet with cismen ?

If you weren't outed before the best way is to use your birth gender toilet. 

The whole trans toilets shit is out of control, litterally what everyone wants from a toilet is for it to be vacant, and surrounded by walls, trans or cis. Public toilets with multiple people in the same room suck for everyone.

@bolded absolutely and I don't have a perfect solution - neither does JK Rowling or anyone else really, but surely she has a right to voice her opinion on something she feels directly impacted on, without getting cancelled?

That being said my initial premise is based primarily on physical differences. Provided that a transwomen has not undergone any medical alterations, he/she is better equipped to handle an immediate physical threat, as is any biological man. I think we can all agree which is the more vulnerable biological gender given history. So it makes zero sense to me, when we are living in a world that is actively fighting GBV, to start adding in disclaimers that would literally allow anyone to walk into any bathroom. As of right now society by and large adheres to biological acceptance of who is allowed in which toilet - which at the very least creates some sense of safety for biological woman.

To your last sentence, perhaps this seems like a small thing to people who live in first world countries, but in third world countries it can rapidly devolve into a disaster mascarading behind "social justice". First world countries, perhaps have the luxury of coming of with decent solutions to this - adding additional bathrooms etc.
