To people seeing #LetWomenSwim - trans women have always been allowed at the ladies pond, and the ladies pond has always been safe. this is moral panic and a distraction; the liberation of trans + cis women will always be bound together.
Violence against women has devastated so many of us and defined our lives. Emotionally, it would be neater to have a bogeyman, like trans people. But - in terms of facts not feelings, the evidence shows that trans women are not a threat to the safety or rights of cis women.
I was on the board of trustees of a small women’s refuge for 6 years, and the chair of trustees for 2 years. The biggest threats to women safety were the hostile environment and austerity, both made it harder for women to leave and harder for the refuge to operate.
