They're too hypersensitive, mentally fragile, and self-centered.

As a "natal female" with a masculine voice & appearance (I'm a gnc lesbian), I wouldn't even apply for a job where I might frighten timid (cisgender) women in need of assistance. I whole-heartedly believe that a facility like that is for only feminine (cisgender) women to work... they're easier to talk to by default based on their sex (female) and gender (femininity), especially if they're middle-aged women. Society automatically trusts a gender conforming, older (cisgender) woman. Older transgender women are walking red flags lol they're spooky.

You think GNC women should not be involved in helping survivors? That seems very restrictive. What about GNC women who feel more comfortable talking to other women like them? If I were assaulted, I would not be comfortable talking to a feminine woman about it.

I think there should be special facilities for gnc women. 🤷

I have this issue when it comes to female therapists, tbh. I don't want to talk to a white woman, a straight woman, a feminine woman, nor a religious woman. I'd prefer a middle-aged gnc/masculine black lesbian atheist... lol but that's TOO specific, apparently, even tho I live near Atlanta where black lesbians (black women in general) thrive.

I get what you're saying about wanting to talk to a certain type of woman for your own comfort, but at the same time, I don't think GNC women should be othered. We're just as much female as feminine women are. We just don't conform to femininity. We don't need different bathrooms or locker rooms or therapy groups. We're women, too.
