Just to say certainly when I talk about safe spaces I don't mean that I think Trans people are going to actually be physically violent or attack me. I mean a safe space away from sexism from men, including those who have been socialised as men.
And in real life I do just avoid using gender pronouns with transexual people. I would never actually refer to them as a man, because actually I am polite. In a political debate though I do generally use gender pro nouns.
