Conservative asked me my thoughts on a situation if a guy who says he's trans walks into a womens restroom but is lying and isn't actually trans

My thoughts is that it's a simple situation really. If they're harassing or assaulting people, the women will call the cops or something, simple situation and get the guy arrested. If he's not doing anything, it's nothing harmful. Apparently that's not a solid enough answer. What should I have said?

Nothing, they're not genuinely interested in a discussion. They're just trying to pin you with a bad answer and will keep moving the goal post until they think they gotcha.

This. ☝️

It's best to ignore them. There's no use getting into an argument with someone who's disingenuous to start with.

And if they can’t “getchya”, they’ll just stop responding or change the subject without ever acknowledging that you’ve proven your point.
