That fake concern for butch/tall women again. They give no fucks about those women, so it's pointless to point out how easily we can tell the difference. What they want is to make it taboo for us to challenge ANYONE in our spaces, no matter how obviously male. >

Before the women's shelter movement, female-only spaces didn't really exist, but they weren't actively forbidden in law. If they get their way, we can't even go back to that ground zero and start again, cos excluding men would be illegal. This is why we MUST hold the line here.

Agree. For AGPs, it's not a clothing style so much as a sex aid, worn bc it makes them horny, and comes along with other demands that we join in their fantasies by (eg) calling them "miss". Men deliberately getting horny in public is not a good thing to normalise.
