Very good piece. Thanks for sharing.
”If there’s a well-established norm that only women and girls are in these areas, a man will look out of place. And this appearance of abnormality, in that context, may embolden the women and girls in the room to say something, or to shout, or even to seek assistance – where doing these things may be the only protection they have in that moment against larger and stronger predators.”
I’d add “leave immediately without worrying you’ll look impolite or be accused of transphobia” to the list of things women would be more likely to do on seeing a man in a women’s space.
