the good times are killing me

Like, in this hypothetical scenario, both the trans man and woman have the exact same choice: get misgendered or get denied housing... Except a trans woman getting misgendered is framed as worse than being homeless while trans men should just like... Shut up and deal with it, I guess.

This post acts like there's a plausible scenario where "afab only" housing is the only one available. But let's be honest: this is a really stupid idea. In reality trans people are forced to either stealth or live as our SIG just to be housed.

Like if you want to make a point about women only spaces that are exclusive to cis women being held up as necessary to cisfeminists without a parallel for men, that's usually a more valid argument. But with housing there's such a blatantly obvious parallel (most being separated into binary SIG) that is infinitely more common than whatever stupid niche feminist circles would have "afab housing."

Like, give me literally one example of "afab only" housing that:

a) actually accepts trans men without trying to detransition us

b) is a major institution and not some queer housing/cult type situation

c) has no coed option at all
