Safe spaces and human rights (for women)

(Alternative title:

"Rights for me, not for thee")

What I want to explore is how the left employs some of its pet phrases to privilege some at the expense of others.

Let us first consider the concept of "safe spaces."

Traditionally, women had various safe spaces where they would be free from,  not in the presence of, protected from, biological men.

Women had their own rest rooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and so on.

But under the theology of transgenderism, women have lost their own sanctuaries, their private, women-only, spaces.

All a biological man has to do is say "I am transgender" (and possibly get some sort of doctor to sign off on that), and he can invade any of women's previous safe spaces.

So much for safe spaces.

Now let us consider the issue of "human rights."

One can see photos of people holding signs proclaiming "Trans rights are human rights."

(Just Google that sentence.)

Well, do women have rights too?

How about the right not to be exposed to nude male genitals, unless they explicitly desire that?

Conversely, not to permit men to see them naked, unless they explicitly allow that?

In my hide-bound thinking, those seem like pretty basic rights that should be granted to women.

But where is the left on this?

They seem all-in on rights for transgenders, while they could hardly care less for the rights of women who hold traditional views.

A very biased view of who has rights, and what is considered a right.
