Female-Only Spaces

HOW THIS CONVERSATION SHOULD GO Female: We respect trans women as women, but they are not female. Females have a right to organize as females, apart from trans women. Females suffer because of our female biology, which is used to keep us second class worldwide. So, we have issues we care about as females. Perhaps […]
