I saw an Instagram post today from a local community support group who announced that because of an extreme cold weather alert all "women-identifying people" experiencing homelessness were allowed access to a local shelter during the day time as a warming center.
Why even bother? Honestly? If you put up such stupid rules, I wouldn't blame a homeless man for identifying as a woman to warm up indoors. If it's between telling a stupid lie for 2 hours vs standing in -15 Celsius weather then yeah, I'm telling the lie all day, whether or not I'm even a predator trying to access this space.
Of course, it's supposed to be a safe space for women to go to that doesn't have men around. But there are men around. So... ?????
It really sucks how an already very, very broken system has been taken advantage of by this shit movement. How often it is that women end up in these positions of homelessness through experiencing abuse by the hands of a man. And to finally, after months, if not years of abuse, be granted the one instance of hope to escape and build a normal life where people might actually believe you and want to help you.
And the next morning you wake up and sit down for breakfast and Yaniv is across the table from you, a complete a total mockery of womanhood and what it means to be female. A fucking man in a dress. Like, a woman, likely in fear for her life, has to participate in drag queen happy hour, out of respect.
I'm more mad at life than mad at the internet now.
