Show Notes
In this first episode, Laura and Yvette tackle one of the most contentious issues in the gender debate: Are single sex spaces for women born women only, or is there a way that trans women can be accepted. Laura shares her experiences of being welcomed and included in these spaces for the last 25 years, and why being told she no longer belongs feels like a threat to her dignity. Yvette talks about how these spaces are intended to be sanctuaries for violence, and in particular, from the men who are responsible for the overwhelming majority of violence and harassment of women. More importantly, Yvette and Laura seek to model how to talk about issues where there is a broad divide in opinion, without assuming the worst of intentions.
