Vancouver Rape relief was protested against, and defunded. Not only that, "feminists" nailed dead rats around the place. All for not allowing a trans woman to volunteer! A freaking rape shelter! Which houses vulnerable women! Why do they want to expose these poor women, many of whom are probably triggered by male bodies, after having been subject to male violence, to transgender males?! And how do they think that defunding a rape shelter, and messing up its operation, is progressive?

Edit: The top comment on https://saidit.net/s/GenderCritical/comments/5643/stats_on_violence_against_women_by_tims/ is also useful. It's extremely horrible that trans males are imprisoned in women's prisons, and they've also raped female prisoners.

Yes the Vancouver Rape Relief was one of my "just when I thought I couldn't peak anymore" moments....though i'm surprised because I brought it up with a different friend and he could care less. I didn't know it was due to a volunteer, I thought it was because someone wanted to stay there....that just makes it so much worse. Thank you for the information, the top comment on that thread is also very helpful!
