Not all women are abusive to males. Not all males are abusive to women.

Keep in mind this is also a trans men fight. Trans men are fighting for access to male facilities as much as trans women are fighting for access to female facilities.

Does that include prisons? There was a case here in Argentina of a convicted "trans man" who was sent to a men's prison. For a "mysterious" reason, she was very against the idea of going there with the men. Despite her protests, a judge decided that she belonged there because, legally, she was a "man". Do "trans men" in general agree with this judge criterion? Would they fight for the right of their "gender identities" being respected even in prison?

Snarky from the old debate sub said he would choose to go to a male prison. So maybe there are some trans men who would try it. I have a feeling, though, that the vast majority would understand the extreme risk and decline.

Maybe. I think is easy to talk about hypothetical scenaries, especially if they are not likely to happen. So, it's possible Snarky would think otherwise if she were faced with the reality of going to prison.

Perhaps, but Snarky was (and I presume still is) involved in very dangerous situations. I don't know if you remember the story about the fake kidnapping and rape. I certainly hope Snarky would reconsider if ever faced with this scenario in real life.

Ah, that changes it all. I wasn't at the old debate sub and I joined here this year. So, I don't know who Snarky is.

I invited Snarky here, but he declined. I think he didn't want to join Saidit. One of our more interesting posters from the old debate sub. We lost a lot of good QT people in the transition. Although I think Snarky was more of a transmedicalist.

Hi! I decided to come back over here. I miss Snarky too along with MrFahrenheit. It still makes me mad that the subbreddit was banned when we had so many interesting people. I hope Snarky is ok because that situation was really scary.

Hey, good to see you!

Snarky still posts on Reddit. I just looked up his profile, and his last post was 11 hours ago.

u/MrFahrenheit46 is on Saidit and I believe on Ovarit too under a different name.

At least some of the regulars are still around! I remember when someone posted a genderdifficult board, but sadly I don't think it ever took off!
