I feel like there should be a category: "I'm a cis man and this is not my business"

Definitely not.

...although I suppose it depends on whether or not we want to reinforce incorrect negative stereotypes.

Some women have been traumatized by brunettes. Separate section?

No. Why? Let's try this: "Some white women at a women's shelter, having been deeply traumatized by people of color, are uncomfortable around blacks. Would you support the shelter making a subsection for these white women that excludes minorities?"

With hesitation, I chose definitely not. My reasoning is that if we condone/encourage people to accept that discomfort, it doesn’t help to conquer their trauma, but prolong it or allows it to become a cyclical pattern. Also, judging others by what 1 person did is not ok.

Do you support the existence of shelters that exclude men, then?

I agree w/
@vgman94. I don't dismiss the trauma those women feel, but that trauma could also be from black women. Do we segregate those? -
Precisely. It could be done with many examples. Ultimately, the core of the problem with sating those insecurities is that it opens up the mindset of mistreating potentially innocent people. It effectively allows the trauma to bounce from one person to another.
