For those out of the loop, WomensStuff has a women-only rule, where men are respectfully asked to not reply to posts.

    I understand the challenges of that, and the challenges of having a safe space for women (hopefully of all spectrums…), but the way they handle it now is just bad and shouldn’t be encouraged.

    If I was a woman transitioning into a man, would I still be welcome? I have the experiences that some women have had, but since I am becoming a man, then does that mean I can only comment in other communities now?

    It’s just not a good way to handle things, I’m sorry.

          The visibility issue is a direct response to your suggestion to making it private.

          I read the trans men issue as a red herring to center men’s voices. I’m not sure about that so I let it fall by the way side.

          Your final paragraph just said this is a bad way to handle it. There’s no response here because it’s a valid concluding paragraph if the previous points hold water. Obviously, I don’t think they do.

            Good lord. This is exactly the type of shit I’m making a point about….

            Me bringing up a VALID view point of a woman who is in the process of transitioning to a man, is centering a man’s voice…?

            That is certainly a take….

              Like I said, I ignored it because I didn’t know. I thought it better to be silent than wrong.

              So I addressed the only other point you made.
