Maybe he should do a web chat? He can't complain about the lack of feminists willing to talk here.
In terms of safety after domestic violence, as far as I'm aware, transwomen are already accepted in many refuges.
Perhaps someone who understands what refugees are like could help, here. But as far as I'm aware, there are several different ways to offer support. Some of them not necessarily in a group situation, or, indeed, being in the same place as the women at all.
One poster mentioned that counsellors can go to the person's house? Is that right?
It's not so much a question of denying support to transwomen, just tailoring it so that it doesn't impact in any way on the other women.
Of course, you could get in a situation where a transwoman demands inclusion in group therapy, for instance, for validation purposes. But at that point the exemptions could easily be invoked.
And just as easily invoked if they want to be an actual counsellor.
It feels to me, as though this demand for access to rape refugees, is either a deliberate attempt to incite, or dominate, which ever way you look at it.
