TRAs appropriate "Safe Spaces" phrase

As we know many politicians use this phrase to avoid having to say single sex ie biological women only

How strange (not) that it is now being used as a campaign to create "safe spaces" for trans people in local communities!

No suprise to find the campaign started in Bristol.

@IwantToRetire

I agree, it is just another set of words that the TRAs are looking to redefine with trans people at the forefront.

Thanks - much better expressed in a short straight forward way.

The point is those on FWR know that the politicians use of the phrase "safe space" was a distraction from having to refer to sex.

But to the majoirty, including the MSM, "Safe Spaces" is the media short hand for safe (single sex) spaces.

And clearly using the phrase is deliberate in the same way as so many people think sex and gender is the same thing thanks to the TRA agenda.

Being on FWR means we can seen round.

But to many this will just be another use of weasal words to make people think something is something it never was.

Yet again the concept or even need to women to have "safe spaces" is being erased in the public mind to be replaced by the need of the most "vulnerable" group of people.

So yet again the well oiled TRA PR campaign is reshaping the public perception.

Considering anyone going into a business premises should be able to take it for granted that they will be safe, what exactly is the point of these signs. Are they actually saying that these businesses will break the law to appease their tra customers?

Yes they are,

Meh. They can have their "safe spaces". Women require single sex spaces that allow us privacy, dignity and safety from unknown men - no matter how short their skirt or what colour their nail varnish is.

Simples.

So the businesses that sign up for this are put on a list which will be published.

I wonder what assurances carys is giving those that don't sign up that they will be left in peace.

Given the actions of various TRA groups.

'Safe spaces' predates the movement against trans ideology..and was part of the culture of safetyism that arose in the early/mid 2010's.

It was highly annoying when Starmer started using the term when really he should have been saying 'single sex' spaces, which is far more accurate.

The culture of safetyism was one that sought to censure and to shield the fragile from views that they didn't like; or from being confronted with challenging ideas.
