Idk how I feel about this. I will say however, any time I've ever seen feminist principles be applied exclusionary, it's always additionally accompanied by TERF shit. It's a very quick pipeline from "no boys allowed" to "no trans allowed". The lines dividing can be so blurry... I don't think it's a good mindset.
I'll bring this up only once, because not only do I not want to deal with backlash, I also dont want to stand in the way of progress or hurt anyone who is trans, but: Notice how society mostly freaks out about Trans Women, and Trans Men are an afterthought in that outrage. Its because Misandry is playing a not insignificant part in this. A key thing about transphobes is they arent seeing Trans Women as Women, and its their ideas on how MEN are that are informing their vitrol. So you are seeing those two go hand in hand for a reason
Edit: Fuck it, I need to clarify: Trans Women are WOMEN, Trans Men are MEN
Yup, trans men are "poor deluded women and victims of the patriarchy" and trans women are "predators trying to invade women's spaces". And that's if trans men are even thought of at all.
Yeah that was the allusion I was leaning towards
From their website:
Any and all ladies doesn't sound like they are excluding people that may not have been born female. It sounds, at least to me, that it includes said person group.
Australia has a really good track record in that regard. So it's nice to see this as well
Any man that wanted to go in there just needed to self ID as a woman for thirty seconds,
