Was anyone ever really concerned over being assaulted by a trans person in a public restroom before the whole bathroom debate became a mainstream thing? I'm no expert by any means, but I wouldn't imagine there have been many cases of trans people assaulting others in bathrooms before or after the debate started. I've definitely heard stories about cis people threatening trans individuals for using the bathroom that they feel more comfortable in though. There's just a lot of scaremongering going on imo, and I don't feel as though those fears are justified
