Breaking the Glass Door - men can self id into 'women only' shelter

The shelter did not respond to a request for comment. I suspect they're thinking, probably correctly, that this outrage will blow over and then they can continue peacefully virtue signalling. Until this policy results in a woman getting harmed. Although it'd have to be pretty serious as these are women who few people seem to care about. Including, somewhat surprisingly, the people running the shelter.

Women-only homeless shelter agrees to take in trans people who self-identify

Glass Door has been criticised by campaigners after it said ‘any guest who identifies as a woman will be eligible for a space’

I didn't think they were a women's homelessness charity.

So I read the article, via archive.ph and see that they aren't but ....

For the first time this winter, Glass Door will provide a women-only shelter in recognition of the “growing numbers of homeless women” in London, it said.

The charity held its annual Sleep Out fundraiser in Duke of York Square in Chelsea on Friday and it hoped to raise £175,000 to finance its winter shelters.

But it has now emerged the shelter would be open to transgender women.

Not acceptable, but hardly surprising that a generic homelessness group would think this.

Why dont they give some of the money raised to existing women's projects who have experience and expertise in this.

I bet they thought this will increase their fundraising, ie focusing on women who are more vulnerable on the street, but failed to mention they will then place them in a vulnerable environment by accepting "self identity".

Its a shame the Telegraph has just got a few "names" to make quotable quotes, and didn't bother to speak to those actually doing the work, and why they have women only organisations.

FFS. A shameless lie then - they don’t offer a women only service at all. They are creating the opposite of a safe space for women: a dangerous space where they will be gaslit and pressurised to deny the reality of what is offered.

Fuck, this shit is getting worse.
