What you're describing are transsexuals, not transvestites.
I stand corrected, although I still see this as a case of tomayto tomahto, potayto potahto.
The point remains that what
@Safe-Keeper is talking about w.r.t. what used to
"happen all the time" is emphatically NOT what is happening now. Likening them to each other is both misleading and mischievous.
I would add for the benefit of
@Safe-Keeper, that Transsexuals were accepted, perhaps with some trepidation by some women, quietly and without much fuss, but what is happening now is that men, with nothing other than the uttering some magic words, are demanding RIGHT of access to women's safe spaces.
Furthermore, contrary to what trans-rights activists and their lackeys (far-left progressive Liberals) will try to claim, it is NOT centrist, non-progressive Liberals (such as myself) or even conservatives who are making the most noise about it, it is TRAs themselves who have stirred up this ****-storm
TRAs are the ones claiming that calling trans-gender persons their original name is trans-phobic!
TRAs are the ones claiming that not using preferred pronouns is aggression and trans-phobic!
TRAs are the ones who label anyone who beleives the objective, observable reality that there are only two sexes is trans-phobic!
TRAs are the ones who label those who say its not possible to change as sex trans-phobic!
Additionally...
TRAs are the only ones who lobby the employers of anyone who speaks against their Holy Creed to get them fired.
TRAs are the only ones who threaten (and enact) violence against anyone who publicly speaks against their dogma.
TRAs are the only ones who run organized Twitter/X outrage mobs to threaten anyone who disgrees with them.
Just ask these people...
Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist.
Driven out of academia by an Twitter outrage mob for arguing in favour of a scientific truth, namely, that there are only two biological human sexes.
Dr. Kathleen Stock OBE.
Denounced and targeted as a “transphobe” by over 700 of her academic colleagues for the crime of advocating Gender Critical viewpoints, specifically that transwomen should be excluded from places like women’s locker rooms and shelters, and rape crisis centres, as well as for calling for an end to the assocation between UK universities and Stonewall.
Protesters had tried to have Professor Kathleen Stock sacked for her views on gender identity.

Professor Selina Todd, history professor at Oxford University’s St. Hilda College.
Targeted by a Twitter outrage mob who had her "no-platformed" by the Oxford International Women's Festival, at which she had been due to speak. The event's organisers told her the decision was due to pressure from trans activists. Apparently, she had the temerity to state that there is a need for women-only spaces because of past violence against women by natural born males. She had to be given security because some of those nice, cuddly, inoffensive people that a number of posters here love to support, made threats of physcial violence agianst her.
A FEMINIST Oxford professor has been given security guards to protect her following threats from transgender activists.

Professor Kathleen Lowery.
Removed from her position as Associate Chair for Academic Programs in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alberta. Her crime? She expressed her disgreement with the idea that biological sex is irrelevant. She said that housing trans-identified men in women’s prisons is not fair to women prisoners and puts women at risk.
A University of Alberta associate professor says she was dismissed from an administrative role over her views that transgender identity doesn’t trump biological sex…

Linda Gottfredson, Psychology, University of Delaware
Disinvited from a conference in Sweden for presenting research showing that there are group differences in average IQ test scores and for reviewing research showing that intelligence is heritable. In fact, intelligence is indeed heritable to some extent, but apparently, saying so triggered some snowflakes in Swedish academia.
A profound discomfort with empirical findings emerging from intelligence research lies at the heart of the disinvitation.

Lisa Littman, MD & behavioral scientist, Brown U
Fired from a consulting position because her paper on
“Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” butthurt a few transgender activists, professionals, and academics.
A researcher found that parents claimed their teenage kids expressed transgender identification out of the blue. All hell broke loose. Science improved. Maybe.

Jerry Coyne, evolutionary biologist
Resigned his position as Honorary Board member (along with Stephen Pinker and Richard Dawkins) from the FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) after they removed one of his dissertatrions under pressure from the Gender Ideology Cult, and then accused him of transphobia
This is the result of a dispute I’ve explained before (see here). Because the FFRF has caved into to gender extremism, an area having nothing to do with its mission, and because, when they le…

Now this is just a tiny selection of the thousands of academics who have been fired, lost positions, been forced to retract papers, and received threats of violence and death because they dared to challenge the Holy Creed of the Gender Ideology Cult.
