She says she wants trans people to have protected rights. Respect to her.
I appreciate that on here as well, whenever there is a discussion here I've very rarely seen anyone not want trans folks to live happy, fulfilled and safe lives. They just don't want to give potential predators access to women and kids.
That involves keeping women's spaces safe.
I can't understand why this is so wildly controversial.
I think there is a mental block here that people by protecting women's spaces we are doing it to spite trans people, it isn't, its just trying to make things as safe as possible.
I use unisex toilets in public spaces if they're closest (my hospital has them more frequently than womens) and that is my choice, but the idea a woman of faith, or a woman who simply doesn't want to fucking share her space is made to feel like some mad biggot for that, is just gaslighting women.
It's incredibly frustrating and upsetting this level of division is occurring. People have lost a sense of protecting each other, themselves, being supportive and sensible.
The obvious solution is 3rd spaces, it doesn't have to be as divisive, just a new curve of society, by flat out refusal of such really isn't giving women anywhere to go besides defend their spaces at all costs. Very sad.
Unless I've missed something a 3rd option, changing rooms, prisons, toilets etc would just keep everyone safe, still be inclusive for trans community, will give everyone a solution. Yet its just a point of unnecessary contention. What a waste of time and energy fighting something that would increase people on both sides of the coin having safe and inclusive environments.
