I mean it’s pretty straightforward - due to trauma over her past experiences with sexual assault at the hands of cis men, she now sees trans women as a facade used by predatory cis men to sexually assault cis women in bathrooms and locker rooms and other segregated spaces.

To her, trans women are really cis men pretending to be women, to make it easier to rape them. There’s kind of no nice way of saying it.

It’s textbook transphobia / queer bashing. Fear of sexual assault at the hands of queer people is probably one of the most basic reasons to justify this particular brand of bigotry. “I don’t hate queers, I’m just concerned for the safety of -“ take your pick - women, children, sometimes even men. For JK it’s women.

    Who gets to decide whether they are men or not? Is it you?

    Why should you know better than them?

      It's because they are male, obviously.

      "Man" is the word we use to describe an adult person who is male.

        "We" is an assumed group of people who agree with you.

          The alternatives - that "man" and "woman" are identities that anyone of either sex can claim, or that "man" and "woman" are defined by a narrow set of cultural stereotypes - are very niche definitions that should be disregarded as, respectively, absurd and sexist.
