'Sharing'

A man using a women's space is not 'sharing'. As soon as a man enters a women's space it is mixed sex. It becomes a space where women's privacy, dignity, and safety are compromised.

Mixed sex spaces are more risky for women. We are entitled to privacy, dignity, and safety, and no we won't sacrifice our privacy, dignity, and safety because you think it's not 'that bad' if women are frightened, intimidated, threatened, triggered, uneasy, etc.

Men in men's spaces are evenly matched in terms of size, weight, muscle strength and likelihood of criminality. Even men who really don't want to use men's spaces are male and as a class, not at a disadvantage comparison to women. Males also don't have the risk of pregnancy that women have.

On this green earth how could anyone suggest a man who is of the sex class that is larger, stronger, commits 80% of violent crime and 99% of sex crime, should be put in with women, because he wants to be?

Outside their own heads trans "women" have nothing more in common with women than any other man does. There is no more basis to include trans "women" in women's spaces than there is to include them in a collection of spoons, a list of famous hats or a donkey sanctuary.

The only way trans "woman" can be justified in women's spaces is if you (a) reduec "womanhood" to something social, visual or personality-based, meaning it's no longer relevant to the female half of humanity who basically don't get to matter enough to be named anymore (super sexist), or (b) understand a woman is adult human female which a trans "woman" is not, but decide those adult human females can just bloody well bunk up and let trans women in anyway because it's selfish for women to expect to matter as much as sad trans "women" (also super sexist.)

I didn't say he in the question, I said you. As I was addressing you.

What was the question?

Thanks. It was what is so bad about women having their own spaces away from men and transwomen.

This was after you'd asked what was so bad about sharing with transwomen and I answered.

It was a while ago, i had to go check the previous page as it's been busy!

I don’t have a good answer to that question. Anything I come up with is incredibly selfish and shortsighted on my part.

I don’t think the solution is forcing trans people to share with their birth sex, but I also don’t see how trans women can share with women when women should have single sex spaces.

Thanks for answering. So your own spaces then. Will we see some campaigning for that? That's where you might get some supportive women, as long as the trans people did the donkey work first of course.
