(Anonymous) 2024-05-04 12:21 am (UTC)(link)And PTSD and trauma sucks. But that doesn't mean that trans people don't have a right to be who they are. If a white person was traumatized by a black person in some way and now finds seeing black people traumatic, that wouldn't make it okay to segregate again. Trans people exist. trans women are women and trans men are men. And they should get to live their lives and be themselves.
And frankly, trans people often have a whole lot of trauma because of being forced to be something they are not, judged, bullied, and attacked just for being themselves. Their trauma is just as real.

(Anonymous) 2024-05-04 12:35 am (UTC)(link)But the fact is that males and females are different from each other in a way that white and black people are not, and neither trans women nor trans men can ever escape the fact that their underlying biology is at odds with their gender. That is, after all, why they are trans to begin with.
And to a certain extent, we all tacitly acknowledge this. You're not objecting, here, to segregating according sex, right? It's not the fact that there are shelters specifically for women that's at issue, even though their very existence is predicated on the idea that if a woman has suffered at the hands of and been traumatized by a man, she ought to have a space where she can get away from men. What do you supposed that's based on?

(Anonymous) 2024-05-04 12:39 am (UTC)(link)The problem with trying to talk about the specific issue of women's shelters and illogical trauma responses is that the whole reason it came up in the first place is because transphobes want to draw much larger and stupider conclusions from that topic. What kind of policy makes sense for responding to someone's trauma in a very limited specific context is not actually relevant to the broader bigoted conclusions transphobes want to draw.

(Anonymous) 2024-05-04 12:35 am (UTC)(link)Should we get rid of women's shelters altogether, then?

(Anonymous) 2024-05-06 01:58 am (UTC)(link)No. Of course not. We should not get rid of women's shelters. "We should get rid of women's shelters" is the opposite of what we think. We do not want to get rid of women's shelters.
Hope at least one of those sentences was clear enough for you to understand!
