...once a week! Believing it is right to exclude (or try and exclude because there is no way we will let our rights be curtailed) a group of people based on a few is ridiculous. Cishet women tried it with lesbians. All women should have access to women's spaces. Anyone...

...appearing to be in a toilet/changing room/whatever for a reason other than its purpose should be called out. If you assume someone is a cis woman and she is being inappropriate with other users of the space, do you let that slide because she's "allowed" to be in there? I...

...hope you don't. You'd inform staff or security or whoever because she was making the space unsafe for other users. If you see someone you think is a trans woman being inappropriate, same thing. However, if you see someone who is using the space as intended, not...

...being inappropriate, or doing anything criminal, you'd let them continue, right? That's how it should be, but with the gender policing of terfs, cis women who are gnc are being challenged about using women's spaces. Which is ridiculous, no? Someone using a facility...

...as intended does not require others policing them. Whether trans, cis, intersex, non-binary etc, if someone is not acting dodgy, leave them be. It is really not that hard. This goes for all "single sex" spaces that the public have access to.

The issue is that there are some people who believe that a person w a male body can be a woman & some people who don't. In a democratic society we can all get along courteously w people we don't share fundamental beliefs w & no one should not be discriminated for their beliefs.

Unless their beliefs are actively harmful against people, such as homophobia or transphobia or racism or sexism. You know. The thing this conversation is about?

Your beliefs - that a man magically becomes a woman if he identifies as such and that he should therefore be entitled to enter female only spaces - are actively harming women. It is sexist to demand women give up our rights to placate males.
