Not all women will be at feminist spaces for women’s protection either so it’s important to remove people from a safe space whenever they make the space unsafe. I’m open to the idea of women only spaces if they serve a function but in practice the most common function I have seen them be used as is for enforcing gender norms and excluding trans and nonbinary people. Most queer spaces make a point to not police on queerness _because_ queer people get excluded so often from gender exclusive spaces. Policing on ideology prevents that issue entirely and doesn’t make the space less safe. It actually makes the space safer of it. > I’d also say that there wasn’t an issue with men only space to discuss testicular cancer, say. Why wouldn’t trans women be welcome at such spaces?
