Why split society into a zero-sum war of factions by declaring that society should be organized around the majority, rather than attempting to accommodate as many people as possible?
- LawTalkingGuy 4y ago> Why split society [...] factions Biology did that. Society is recognizing it, and only recently at that, by giving women sex-based rights. > by declaring that society should be organized around the majority, rather than attempting to accommodate as many people as possible? The needs of X vs the needs of Y. Females need single-sex spaces to avoid violence and rape. Males do not need to be in female single-sex spaces. Needs trump wants. > zero-sum war of Many things are zero sum. A single-sex space is only useful if it remains single-sex. A single male rapist can traumatize and attack an entire rape shelter of female victims. Women's rights don't matter if "woman" means whatever anyone else wants.

- civilized 4y agoI think concerns about single-sex spaces are very understandable. It's a sensitive topic and should be handled as such. But with the language on a pregnancy website I think we could accommodate everyone. In the root comment I suggested different materials for cis women and trans men.
