I’m not a trans dude so I can’t really have an opinion but is it not weird to allow trans men into women’s only spaces Idk just sounds like really terfy to me 🤷‍♀️

Like if men’s only spaces existed and I got invited in I would break down crying on the spot

What does "allowing" mean here to you, and what women's only spaces are you talking about? (Also, are trans women allowed in the same spaces? <- if they aren't the space is TERFy anyway) There's tons of nuance & I'm a trans guy who's heard a lot of perspectives on this exact topic, so I'm happy to answer questions or be dm'd

the trans men and lesbian communities have a huge historical overlap and blurring of the lines between them. it's not easy to say whether any specific person has more or less of a claim to wanting to be in the space. they tend to operate on good will

Nothing in particular just randomly remembering the amount of women’s only events that will also have a trans men welcome thing going on
