Trans People in Women Only Safe Spaces - please help me to understand

[WinstonSG]

This is a genuine question to try and broaden my understanding of a complex issue.

My stance is that the risk of having a blanket rule around those that identify as women being allowed complete access to women only safe spaces, is putting women at risk due to the potential for predatory men to take advantage of this.

My issue is not with trans people. I support their right to live without prejudice and discrimination.

To me, this then comes down to who's rights matter more: females or born males that identify as women.

It seems either option causes harm to each group. Again, no issue with trans people, but a blanket rule that places women at risk (because of predatory men saying they identify as women in order to gain access to those spaces) and increases their vulnerability surely can't be the right answer?

thetoddleratemyhomework, not intending to be antagonistic, nor to bash your opinions. Robust debate, I hope! You have your level of acceptability, and I mine. Both are valid. We are not a hive mind. I was very much of your opinion 4-5 years ago.

To be honest, I am happy to go with other women who feel more strongly than me on segregated spaces in all circumstances - what I am comfortable with does not reflect all women and it is helpful to hear others' views on it.

Re your other post - I meant using pronouns correctly to the person or where they might hear, as a form of courtesy rather than needing to police your thought lest it be a hate crime (is this really the Labour position?)
