To ask what policy your Uni has on women's spaces?

[SerfTerf]

Those of you who have recent work or study experience.

Would you mind listing institution names and their policies?

NC if you need to of course.

I'm not in London (as in it's not permanent), it was publicised in Newcastle, that's how I found out about it. Where I am now, it's known about too.

I'm in Wales. As another poster has pointed out, health is devolved. So your one of those who think Britain and England are synonymous, perhaps. Prejudice.

I have never once said that women aren't allowed boundaries

And i feel that people who don't identify as male should be free to access women's spaces if that's where they feel most appropriate is for them to access

I've never heard of it. I'm quite well informed thanks. Maybe I was on holiday that week.

No Cardi

It's accessible by all UK citizens.

Clearly says so on the website (if you've read it you'll know this).

You're* oops.
Known about by who, OP?

Never heard of it either...

Local maternity services, Local GPs, rape crisis centres, women.

Tbf, I had heard of the clinic at the time it was publicised, I think for providing maternity services. I did not remember the name of it, as it's an unusual name that seems to me unfortunately like the name of a gym or beauty clinic. I wasn't aware of the other services it provides as it was only the maternity clinic that was publicised.

I'm not sure what you think you've proved about people not immediately recognising this clinic.

I didn't read the website. It's not relevant to me. Just googled to find out what it was. I've never heard of it and neither have several other posters. I DK t think you can take knowledge or lack of it of one facility as a short hand for well informed or not. In any case, you didn't answer my question - would you be happy for a predatory male who claimed to identify as female to access or provide services there?

Whale has already said that
"And i feel that people who don't identify as male should be free to access women's spaces if that's where they feel most appropriate is for them to access"

"I'm not sure what you think you've proved about people not immediately recognising this clinic."

Because it's pretty much the biggest NHS project that's happened recently for women who've experienced sexual violence. And it is talked about a lot. I am just really surprised that those of you claiming to be all knowledgeable don't know about it, that's all.

Weirdly enough, they are fine with opening their safe spaces to transwomen too, so they clearly haven't seen any evidence of these risks you all allude too.

To date, this "predatory male" issue you talk about has not been an issue for the clinic, I am comfortable attending their safe spaces along with transwomen.

Weirdly enough, they are fine with opening their safe spaces to transwomen too, so they clearly haven't seen any evidence of these risks you all allude too.

Oh don't worry the NHS is well into gender nonsense and will happily throw women under the bus to be "inclusive", like many government agencies. It doesn't prove anything.

Haven't seen evidence of, or are shutting their eyes to?
People can be very k owledgable about a field without knowing every detail. And actually, the thread isn't about sexual violence per se, is it?

"It doesn't prove anything."

Well, it does really, doesn't it. It demonstrates that those who have knowledge about how sexual violence works don't view transwomen in safe spaces as a major risk.

I am just really surprised that those of you claiming to be all knowledgeable don't know about it, that's all.

Continue to be amazed.

But would you be comfortable with a bearded person with a functioning penis treating you after sexual violence? Do you think other women should be happy with this?

Ok. No one here knows anything about anything, you have the monopoly on expertise. We must agree with you as an expert no doubt.

Are you expected to share vulnerable spaces with trans women at the clinic, as in communal changing, overnight stays in wards, showering facilities etc?

My GP is male. I have no issue with him treating me.

Well, it does really, doesn't it. It demonstrates that those who have knowledge about how sexual violence works don't view transwomen in safe spaces as a major risk.

No, it really doesn't say that. It means that the rights of trans identified males trump those of women. That's all.

Whale A quick Google suggests that they open their spaces to transmen - I couldn't find anything about transwomen?

I haven't said no one knows about anything - please stop saying that I have said things when I haven't.

OK, actually, this is getting really boring and tedious to keep being accused of saying things I haven't.

I'm going. The MBB is fantastic if any of you who have experienced sexual violence would like to access it then please get in touch with them (they do preconception care right through to postnatal care as well as STI tests, smears etc. and they can advise and train your local maternity unit too).

My GP is male. I have no issue with him treating me.

Should other women have the right to be examined by a female doctor?

Some women do have an issue. Should they not be allowed the choice?
