It is quite weird how no one is concerned if a trans man is a man. I can only imagine it is a sexual attraction hang up. Which is especially suspect when it’s a person in a monogamous relationship asking these questions because it literally should never matter.
It’s patriarchy also. It’s seen as “normal” to want to be a man; who wouldn’t want to be a regular person? But if someone wants to be a woman, they’re essentially breaking the system since who would want to be a lesser thing??!
Ever been to an event where the line for the women’s restroom is so long they start using the men’s?
Men care much less about who use their designated areas. Those types of arguments usually fall under obvious sexism e.g. women must go to the [with]drawing room after dinner.
TERFs certainly exist but you don’t hear much about TERMs.
I also met women who explained this to be because of fear for their safety, that they don’t want to be around men in the toilet (or anywhere in private).
I find that maybe an overreaction, but I’m not a woman to be sure

It is certainly a damaging overreaction. That (imaginary) brush is tarring every Trans person.
Whenever there’s a big line, I’ll remind the people in line of this. We don’t care. Internalized sexism keeps them stuck in line
