"To them being excluded is being victimized, even though people are excluded from groups/events all the time, for every reason."

So true! And, at least today, being excluded from some groups or events is totally okay and isn't usually disrespectful or an act of discrimination.

This mentality that absolutely everything has to be all inclusive or it's evil/transphobic is bullshit. Men can have clubs/groups separate from women, doesn't mean the group is inherently sexist, same for women. Taking away the ability to gather based on shared enjoyments or experiences in the name of making everyone feel welcome and "valid" (anyone else REALLY hate that word anymore?) is ridiculous.

Especially in online forums for dating, because people have sexualities dictated by....biological sex. Which you can't identify into or out of. Males have no place in a forum for lesbians. And it's not a hate crime to say that.

Yes, yes, yes! Well said.
