Why does this justify exclusion on the grounds of genitalia? Why not assess by danger to life?https://twitter.com/djbaggysmalls1/status/908635730712330241 …
Why are the current ones women's by default. I was asked to look up Refuge's history & found Pizzey saying it should include men.

Ok, heres the problem; you are starting from a default position instead of understanding the subject then forming an opinion.
-
Women started womens shelters. Back then, the police would return them to their husbands. Women started them and women funded them.
-
Funding from taxpayers didnt start until decades later. It didnt cover the entire cost and women have always had to fundraise.
-
Shelters are constantly under attack. They get firebombed. Women have been raped and murdered in shelters.
-
Shelter managers have to do risk assessments on people who try to access them. Women and men try to get in to attack the women.
-
They house women and children. All are traumatised. They need specific help. Men and trans people need different services to women.
-
Women are not the worlds caretakers. We cant do it all. Men and trans groups need to step up and take care of their own.
-
Rape Crisis and DV services take very specific skills, some groups need different services to others. Its not one size fits all.
