There is a lot of good, dispassionate and well argued stuff in there, that reflects the kind of conversations this board was having about five years ago.
It is not clear whether the writer is intentionally presenting a very sanitised version of the situation for reasons of the message being less arguable, more palatable, etc etc, or is unaware of several things he skims right over, or simply does not think those things particularly matter.
But there is a good deal more to the issues for women of not being permitted spaces of their own than just the safety one, he does not address the inequality of exclusion of some women who cannot engage in enacting a belief that a person they perceive as a man is something other than a man for example. And he makes his case on a presented agreement that every male wishing to identify and use womens spaces is doing so in genuine good faith and with nothing more than a fear of their own risk in male spaces.
Women have been wading through the sewage for years now that this is not the case or main reason for entering women's spaces at all, and that there are many, many less sanitised and pure aspects to male people wishing to use their spaces than just simply a desire to be safe.
It's difficult. It is beyond good to see this kind of reasoned argument appearing which, let's face it, is really one man talking to other men, and there is much very good stuff in it. Conversations we've had here for years. But it's depressing that there is still so very, very far to go, and how very little people listen to what women say.
