This makes me think. By now, werewolves and vampires are mythological beings we use as entertainment and find great joy in discussing even though we know they’re not real. Hundreds of years from now, maybe popular culture (D&D 86e or something) will be filled with Jewish Space Lasers.
Larry Niven once wrote a story with the throwaway line “the Berlin Nazis football team.”
I was a little miffed the first time I read it, but eventually I got the idea that in the future, Nazis are as scary as pirates and raiders and Spartans are today.
I recently told someone that, being a woman, I don’t understand why even a not cis man in a woman’s bathroom matters.
We don’t have urinals? We have stalls and only stalls. No one is getting naked in the main part of the bathroom? Where is the threat, that could be in any way more threatening than being anywhere where there are people?
I think that humans have to have a certain level of non-reality based fears.
Back in the day, werewolves and vampires were enough.
As technology advanced, it was UFOs.
Now it’s Jewish Space Lasers and Woke Transwomen in bathrooms.

D&D even already has golems, phylacteries and cabals

Everyone knows the real thing to be afraid of is quicksand.
Rainbows and unicorns are really scary to some. Especially of wielded by men.
Or simply a boeing 737, these can crash anywhere…
No, that one is real.
Can’t stress enough how silly of a fear transwomen in the bathroom is. Everyone knows women don’t use the bathroom.

Such a stupid thing to fear.
My college dorm had co-ed bathrooms. For showers and everything.
It was not an issue.
In my local Alamo Draft House movie theater they have two kinds of bathrooms; Stalls and Urinals.
Bullshit.
It is a horrible place to try and prey upon them however.
Their instinctual herd behaviors provide protections at their most vulnerable points.
Kinds like how your dog watches you while pooping to make sure you have their back.
You sound like you’re not allowed to be alone with the cousins at family events
I saw a UFO at about noon when in my backyard once.
