not to discourse on this late morning, but if you’re celebrating the defunding of a rape crisis shelter There Is Something Wrong With You.

The money will go to people who are not TERFs. I think that’s fine.

the money was funding a center for vulnerable women who had experienced sexual violence.

Yeah, and there are other organizations that are doing the same all the while not rejecting trans women from volunteering with them, thus being more helpful to all women. So, not getting your point.

many female rape victims are triggered by male bodies and have severe PTSD. they need and deserve a space to heal away from males. what’s your solution for these women? get over it?

This is the ONLY one that doesn’t include transwomen. How many fucking shelters do you need access to??

It’s the oldest one in Vancouver, and was the very first rape crisis center in Canada. Started in 1973 by those “awful” second-wave feminists. By themselves, for women like them. Why? BECAUSE THERE WAS A DIRE NEED FOR A WOMEN’S RAPE CRISIS CENTER. So they did it. Now you want to take that away from them because the cultural winds changed? There’s no need for a rape crisis center for biological women only?

Must be nice to be so privileged that you can sit in your armchair, play the politics of fashionable purity and destroy an important feminist legacy. These people are absolutely despicable.



@keyhollow whats ur opinion on this

I’m torn.

On one hand, male shelters just, don’t exist really. They’re protested and defunded regularly, so where would transwomen go if the female shelters also rejected them? Not to mention, if a trans woman passes or has had all her surgeries, why turn her away? What would the point be?

On the other hand, transwomen aren’t biological women, especially depending on the state of their transition, they could need vastly different resources for their physiological needs as well as people that could better understand their trauma and how to help them based on their anatomy and mental state. It could also be extremely jarring to the women in the shelter of a nonpassing transwomen attempted to stay there.

So, if the transwomen have access to other resources and have other places to go nearby that will fulfill their needs, I see no issue with a biological women’s only shelter. In addition, I would say the biological women’s shelter may way to go off anatomy, rather than birthsex, as that’s a bit more important to the function and how the women will literally view eachother. No penises allowed basically. However, you can not be in support of this, and also protest male only or trans only shelters.

Morgane Oger, the reason the shelter has stopped receiving funding, has said that even though there can be transwomen only spaces, transwomen should be allowed into all women-only spaces “because they are women and it’s discriminatory”. So basically he believes transwomen deserve double the resources of real women for something that happens more often to biological females of any gender identity. Women deserve spaces free from males, especially a place like a rape shelter! Men and transwomen can build their own shelters if they need them. That’s what Morgane Oger’s time and energy could have gone towards, but instead he chose to punish a rape relief center for their “prejudice” and merely desires their submission if they want to go back to receiving funding. Anyways, Morgane Oger is a monster and also not a woman. He doesn’t even pass so I doubt he’ll make passing a criteria. I’m guessing there’s no criteria other than “call yourself a woman and you’re in”. Trans activists, can you please take out your trash?

Why do people repeat the lies about male exclusive shelters not existing? Or being defunded? Why do they lie so shamelessly? No qualms or hesitation at all.

Men’s shelters barely exist because hardly anyone ever uses them. Yeah, it does tend to be hard to get funding for something few people actually need. Meanwhile, women’s shelters struggle to provide enough space for all the women in need of it, and these assholes cheer when TIMs take up much needed space and shut down the ones that won’t let them.

@emeritusprofessorofnothing they lie so shamelessly because they are evil. There is no other explanation.
