Yes, there are many women[1] who seem very distressed, and I think for at least some this distress is genuine.
This is because they have been told the lie[2] that trans women are disproportionately sexual predators and thus are very dangerous.
But lying that a minority group is full of dangerous predators IS THE THING YOU MUST NOT DO. And we equally have a moral obligation to push back against this lie where it appears.
As OGH points out, this is the lie that has been used to justify horrific violence against trans women, foreigners, lesbians, gay men, black people, older unmarried women, etc etc etc on back into history.
[1] "Females?" Seriously? I thought people who call women "females" were laughed off the internet in 2014
[2] "Self-id" laws, which we are told will turn every bathroom in the UK into the Thunderdome, have been in effect in other countries for years (e.g. Ireland in 2015) with no sign of any increase in assaults.

Presumably the value of a slow dollar issued by a system would rise and fall in proportion to the apparent prospects of the colony, and there would be a slow speculative market in the things.
