When the punishment for expressing yourself on the matter is immediate aggression, and being labeled a bigot and transphobe, possibly getting kicked out of school and losing everything you've worked towards up to this point, we can't rely on women coming forward.

You know.... like the same circumstances women face standing up for themselves in every other aspect of their lives.

    Which is, of course, why randomized anonymous surveys with large sample sizes show that this is actually a thing for a large number of women who are just too terrified to speak up oh no they don't, damn. Kind of cuts the legs out from under that sort of "silent majority" argument, which is almost always used to advertise the views of the noisy minority.
