I don't think one can make the statement that all women are less tolerant in their attitudes. A more accurate statement would be some are less tolerant, some are openly hostile, and some are very accepting. Plus there are many more views between the poles of intolerance and tolerance. Judging from your posts, GG, I would say that you are at the high end of tolerance and acceptance. If you weren't tolerant and accepting then you wouldn't even be a member of this site. You are not the only natal woman that holds those views. There are several other natal women that are members this site that are just as accepting and tolerant.
What we are unlikely to find here are those natal women that are intolerant of transwomen, just because they will not join a site like this because of their views.
I urge you to search the internet for more information on this subject so that you may find what natal women are saying. A good place to start is Bionca's blog. She provides articles and links to other sites that lead to still more sites.
The level of intolerance will astound you. Also the level of acceptance will, I'm sure, find favour with you.
To sum up I would like to reiterate that the spectrum of tolerance to intolerance is large. Search out other articles on this subject to get a fuller understanding of attitudes.
