If a gaming community's toxic, you can make a small group and ban anyone from it who causes problems, but I don't think gender's the right approach to it. If people don't even realize I'm male*, can you really say my maleness is the problem, or is it just that some people are being jerks?

* I don't identify as male, but it's what I am biologically, so I don't lie about it if it comes up.

Some people have had bad experiences with male players of a game. They want a safe place away from male players. How is *that* a problem? They aren't saying all men are assholes, they just want a place with only women. It makes them feel safe and allows them to fully enjoy the game. What sort of gender roles are being enforced there?

Suppose a group decided to only allow membership to black people. How would they define "black"? There was a time when even Asians were grouped the same as modern blacks under the generic "colored"--should they be allowed in? On the other hand, we now know enough about genetics to argue that the Xhosa (typically referred to as "black") may be genetically closer to the Dutch (typically "white") than to other supposed "black" tribes--does this mean they should be excluded? The more you argue about it, the more clear it becomes that "black" and "white" don't actually mean anything.

I think the same is true when you try to divide people into "male" and "female." As it stands now, we've gone a step further by adding "agender," "bigender," etc., but "agender" still means at least two very different things, and "bigender" is becoming more and more questionable. I think even "male" and "female" encompass so many different ways of being and doing to be meaningless.

In other words, if you say that men can't join and women can, you're promoting the idea that the world is divided into men and women, and I don't think it is.

You're missing the point, this isn't about race. Women-only groups aren't segregation forced onto them by the majority. They're made by women gamers who have been sexually/verbally harassed by men in the majority of their time playing games. When the majority of players in any given game are male, chances are very high that you will find yourself with an asshole. These groups aren't created to exclude men because women think they suck, they're a safe haven for women.

For fuck's sake, this post ^ is an example of why comparing oppressions is dodgy. What kind of ridiculous comparison is this?

There's debates about whether "women's" spaces should be actually "non-cis-male" spaces these days, and it's not to be binary, it's to provide a temporary place of strength/chilling out for people who've been marginalised by the practices of cis men, aka the majority of men. "Women's spaces" are only there because sexism & the whole kyriarchy exists, take it away and we would be a beautiful sea of incidental genders or non-genders.

So who decides if I'm allowed to identify as something other than cis male? It doesn't seem to be my call.

[(Anonymous)]

If you were born male and feel you are a man and nothing else but a man, then you're a cis male. it's that simple

[(Anonymous)]

I myself have often yearned for a place with only women.

[akacat]

If you ID as female, I'm pretty sure the ladies-only WoW guilds I've been a member of would admit you. For what that's worth.

uh what now

my biological sex might be x but that doesn't make me x. if someone asks if I am and I say 'no I'm y,' that's not lying.
