If you're fleeing domestic abuse you can get kicked out of your refuge into the street for not wanting to share a room with a strange penis.

Well, I'd support refuges' policy not to discriminate between two vulnerable people fleeing domestic abuse on the grounds of their genitalia

If you can't be civil, go away. Can you imagine how horrible it'd be for an abused man to be turned away from a refuge coz he had a penis

I don't accept people with vaginas have more right to safety from equally traumatised & vulnerable people with penises. Why is that hard?

This seems to be a situation where there's a simple solution---provide different spaces for women and trans-women.

Ideally, yes, but the suggestion here seems to be that the shelters that exist are for cis women & trans women shld build their own.

Why do trans feel they have the right to take over everything women fought so hard for? Why do women have to lose out? Because they will.

I expect they seek refuges because they have been victims of DV & remain in danger & don't think being born with a penis changes this.

So should domestic violence refuges then lump all victims together? Women, trans women, even men who have suffered domestic violence?

It would be ideal to have a variety & enough for everyone. Until then, ethically, they should be for vulnerable ppl regardless of genitalia

So women who are triggered by men just gotta suck it up? That's nice. Again, putting trans needs above others. Why?

EVERYONE has to "suck it up" at one point or another. It's called being an adult.
