Once again for gender ideologues, segregation of the sexes is not comparable to racial segregation. Using this comparison is usually racist and unbelievably ignorant.
Racial segregation was put in place to alienate, disenfranchise, degrade, and control Black people in America. Any spaces that were accessible to Black people were usually put in inconvenient places and made with lesser quality. They could be jailed, beaten, or murdered for daring to use white facilities for ANY reason.
Black men and women have the same needs as White men and women. Segregating schools, restaurants, water fountains, and public areas was not for the protection of either class. It was meant to oppress. This is not the same as women fighting for their own protected spaces.
Sex segregated things like bathrooms, locker rooms, gyms and even schools emerged from the fact women were literally not allowed to be there in the first place. Feminists had to fight for a public bathroom, they had to fight for the right to an education. Even when women were legally allowed to have jobs and attend school they were subjected to mass amounts of sexual and physical violence.
Women created female only spaces for themselves. For their protection in public spaces that they have every right to occupy. Black women have the same need and right to safety from men that White women do.
Trans women are not being denied access to public spaces. They never have been. They can use public bathrooms, locker rooms, and gyms. They have never historically been banned from getting an education, having a job, being able to vote, getting an abortion, or owning property. They never had to use a 'trans only' water fountain, lest they be jailed or beaten.
Trans women just want access to female only spaces because it validates their identity. It doesn't offer them any real opportunities that they didnt have before. This is why its racist to compare the plight of Black women to Trans women. It completely ignores the aspect of sex based oppression. Trans women have the privilege of being born male. They have never had to experience sex based oppression and they never will.
Stop comparing Black women to men. Its racist.
The comparison is especially sinister because sex segregation has already happened, and it was to discriminate against women. The female class was kept away from jobs and schools and rights. That's literally what we are trying to fight, by creating spaces for us to congregate and shed our woes. An accurate comparison would be transracials demanding access to whatever spaces we Black people have carved for ourselves, our schools, our churches, our communities, our rights, demanding centrestage in anti-racist movements.
