A conversation with a friend last night re: trans issues. She said that the problem is male violence and that trying to manage the issue by providing female-only spaces is stopping people focusing on that as the core problem. Hence she's not worried that we now have no protected female spaces.
I can see where she's coming from but using this as an argument to let transwomen into female spaces seems a bit shit to me tbh. It's like saying that crime is the problem so lets focus on doing something about the causes of crime rather than having a police force. Yes we need to do something about male violence but whilst we are doing so we also need to listen to the victims of that regarding the supports they need.
Can you help me think through why this is not an OK stance to take?
