Some women at a women's shelter, having been deeply traumatized by men, are uncomfortable around trans women. Would you support the shelter making a subsection for these women that excludes trans women?

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?

Replying to

No/Neither. I don’t support exclusion based on discomfort that doesn’t have a basis in personal experience or direct, verified information.
