At a time when women’s safe spaces are being demolished, men are now claiming the need for their own. Perhaps by realising the importance of having single sex safe spaces they will begin to respect and protect ours.

Probably not.

I like the look of this retreat so I now identify as a man.

That sounds amazing! I hope that for at least some of the people who read this article, it prompts them to recognise the value of single sex spaces

@Babdoc you’re right that I probably would not be welcomed with open arms. Perhaps they’ll start to realise that have “non men” (from another thread) would change the tone and dynamic of their experience

I’ve suggested to DH that we go together, we could be a gay couple for the weekend

OP, I would love you to rock up there as a “transman” and report what reception you get!
I suspect you would get short shrift, like the Man Friday protest women at the men’s pond in Hampstead, who were thrown out while trans identifying men were welcomed at the women’s pond.
