While they are quite aware of the risks of sexual assault it appears they do not see transwomen (or cismen masquerading as tramswomen) as a likely threat. I think it might be time to link to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=700644) where we had a discussion about transwomen in toilets and what ciswomen think about it. For those not interested in reading 5 pages, the overwhelming majority of women just don’t give a damn. A mere 4% of woman respondents objected to the notion, meaning 96% either didn’t care or had only minor concerns. Granted, it’s not a scientific poll but that’s still an overwhelming response. Probably the most common response first appears in post #2: > [@Cis Women- Do you have an issue with trans women who've not had SRS in the women's room?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cis-women-do-you-have-an-issue-with-trans-women-whove-not-had-srs-in-the-womens-room/667327/2): > > I would not mind.
