Was just saying how I wish there were women only gyms because I don't feel comfortable in coed gyms. Men are fucking creeps and do not respect personal space in my gym going experience. The reason there are no women only gyms in California is because men's rights groups sued them for discrimination. So basically there aren't any safe places to go to the gym for people like me.

edit: good to see the lack of reciprocity or willingness to look at this issue for what it actually is from certain instances.

Because that totally won't immediately be abused for transphobia. Like, I get the complaint, but think through the implications for five seconds

Um duh? Trans/NB inclusive woman only does kind of cut it. As long as cishet males watch transgender porn, sure all trans/nb/fem people belong to the protected space.
