Katie AllenGUEST
But so, yeah, this for me is a really interesting topic because and again, everyone has opinions and you are free to agree with this or not.

Katie AllenGUEST
My opinion on this whole matter is I don't and I don't and have never believed that trans women are a threat.

Katie AllenGUEST

Katie AllenGUEST
However, the narrative that predatory people will pose as trans women or that trans women themselves are indeed a threat in order to get to women just is absolutely ridiculous to me.

Katie AllenGUEST

And that's the reason why difficult conversations are so flipping difficult, because they are complex and contextual.

Katie AllenGUEST
More often than not, we create stories, right? And I talk a lot about how do we know whether or not we're a good or a bad person, right? Because when we create these narratives in our head, half the time is, well, I don't want to try and say the wrong thing, get it wrong.
