Will naturally include men

it will include TW (men) but not cross dressing men (love to see how they’ll tell the difference!) but not TM (women)

Women's Pioneer have been providing women only housing for decades.

One of the many older ie Suffragette organisations that actually put into practice solving practical problems for single women.

I am sad to here that they have been captured.

I wonder if existing tenants were surveyed on this, or whether in fact the funders of this new project put the pressure on.

And did see the story a while ago and was surprised as not that long ago they said they wouldn't try to expand as it would be hard to maintain their founding ethos.

So putting 2 & 2 together seems like a new management committee thought the price of growth ie being trans inclusive was worth it to get more housing for women.

And in fact maybe the many women on their waiting list would agree - sadly :(

That's going to go well!

So long as tenants are aware of this, I think some women would still benefit from this environment. Just as the twaw crew need to realise they can’t give away our consent to share female spaces with males, I’m happy to accept that some people feel comfortable in spaces segregated by gender.

I knew it would include men before I opened the thread.

You just know that it will become a target for those men who role-play as women and whose ultimate fantasy is living in a community of women who fawn over his specialness and centre all his needs.

Doh! Sorry you already said that.

So let me this straight. They won't accept transgender men (aka women) but they will accept transgender women (aka men). Into a woman's only space. Righto!

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 28/04/2023 15:09

Transwomen will be accepted but not transmen.

I saw this and thought that of all the people most inclined to be threatened by men, however they present, it would be abused women. Epic fail 😞

However, I also noted it said that violent men would be excluded....
