What has the world come to?

Explicitly stating men are welcome to enter women's spaces and 'support' them after suffering horrendously at the hands of other men.

Yeah what happens if the woman to be counselled doesn't share the belief of the person wishing to counsel that they are a woman?

Are they provided with someone else or are they denied service?

And yes, as reported in the Scots discussion on the GRA consultation: it is a fact that men with a sexual interest in talking to/ involvement with/ performing of women and sexual assault for their own fetishistic purposes. How exactly will this be protected against so that abused women are not further abused in the name of making men happy?

Because we can't say anything to the contrary without being labelled bigoted or transphobic.

According to Stonewall's new definition, an effeminate man is trans, so would be eligible for this post.

Hell, I reject gender norms whenever I possibly can, so according to them I'M trans too. Confused

The non binary thing pisses me off too, if they are non binary they are not identifying as women and if they don't identify as women what are they doing applying for a job that is all about women? Or more to the point why would the organisation want someone who doesn't even identify as a woman?

Now, let's not be bigoted. Gregor is far more oppressed than a woman who has been sexually abused or subjected to domestic abuse. He is the victim of literal violence.

How is this not a safeguarding issue?

Vulnerable women? Yes, let's put them in a situation that completely re-victimises them and puts them at risk in a space they are supposed to be safe..

Non-binary includes Gregor wasisface, the erstwhile SNP councillor with beard who has called women who disagree with his political views "cunts."

There definitely are perps who would go to work on refuges etc handed the chance. This must be like Christmas for abusers.
