Les hommes sont libre de se laisser pousser les cheveux. Ăa nâen fait pas des femmes pour autant. ArrĂȘtez de mentir Ă des gens qui on besoin dâaide psychologique.
To men who identify as women:
Just because a woman doesnât object to your presence in a female-only space, that doesnât mean sheâs comfortable with it, or that she doesnât know youâre a man. I know a lot of you think you pass because no one says anything, but you donât. Women are just too polite - or too afraid - to call you out and tell you to leave.
And who can blame us? Women have been brutally assaulted on multiple occasions for trying to stand up to a male trespasser, and are regularly threatened with rape and death by trans people online. Moreover, thereâs a solid chance that even if we do say something, weâll get zero support from the management of whatever establishment weâre in, because theyâre all afraid of getting mobs of angry protesters outside their business if they side with common decency.
These spaces are ours. They exist for our safety, and to protect us from sexual exploitation by giving us privacy while we conduct intimate bodily functions. Your presence in them negates their usefulness, and strips us of the protections they once offered, putting women and girls at risk of assault and violation.
Whether we say it or not, whether we comment or not, we all know that youâre a man, and we do not want you in womenâs spaces, no matter what lip service some of us may feel forced to pay.
If you were really women on the inside - or even saw women as human beings - then the last thing youâd do would be to bring your male body into female-only spaces, knowing - and you do know this - that you are making women uncomfortable and afraid. Your staggering lack of empathy and your refusal to listen to any voices that donât tell you that youâre entitled to do exactly as you please have blinded you to the fact that you are unwelcome trespassers who destroy the sense of safety that women have in these spaces.
Your utter disregard for the needs and feelings of the actual women to whom these spaces belong is beyond comprehension: the selfishness is astounding, the entitlement stunning. Women make up 51% of the population, but you think that your 1.6% should be thought of first and foremost, and given anything it demands, no matter how much harm it does to women and girls.
Women deserve to be seen as human beings, not a costume, or a set of stereotypical behaviors and preferences.
