I would generally agree with the need for safe spaces - defined as groups of people of a certain characteristic coming together to rant a bit about their problems without fear of retaliation, and the ability to be heard without being spoken over by people trying to be "helpful" but generally not understanding - though permanent segregated physical spaces is utterly ridiculous. Luckily, my particular communities don't put me in contact with people arguing for segregation very often. A quick poll of mine suggests that all who responded would strongly disagree with the idea of "optional" segregation (as it very rarely actually turns out to be optional due to the power structures involved). And we're radical anarcho-socialists to a large extent.
