SuperStraight

Years ago, I was renting a room from a woman who worked at the same restaurant where I worked. It was her house. We got along really well, and it was a good situation. I'm a gay male, so there were no complications. We would go hiking with her dogs, talk about books, etc... But then one day, she came to me very apologetically and said she was going to have to ask me to move out because her daughter needed to move back in. There was enough room for all of us, but her daughter had been raped a couple of years before, so her daughter didn't feel comfortable with a male-bodied person in the house -- even a gay male.

So, did I argue and make a scene about it? No. I told her I understood and moved out because I understood that that was the decent thing to do.

Vancouver Rape Relief offers a sanctuary for rape victims where they don't have to deal with male-bodied people in the same space. I get why that's their policy.

Now, someone could set up a rape shelter specifically for transgender people. But that's not the way Team Trans works. Anything for women that's not for trans women has to be shut down because, according to TRAs, women are not allowed to have sex-segregated spaces for any reason, even reasons that should make sense to anyone who thought about it.
