Just how do you expect a female to react to the encouragement - nay, forceful entry - into spaces claimed through long battles and endless arguments….with joyful acceptance? Please.
While I admit that at times the feminist movement has been brutally unfair to men, I do not believe that this excuses men in women’s prisons, men in women’s bathrooms, men in women’s sports competitions. Too hard fought, too damn fraught.

100%. There's no denying that some feminists are unfair to men. But also no denying that society has been far more unfair to women. Female only spaces are just one area in which women have fought to redress some of the imbalance in society. I don't believe for a second that <1% of the population should get to unilaterally overturn that.
I ardently support trans women's right to safe spaces of their own. I fully support their inclusion in spaces where women are happy to include them (which, for the record, I think is most spaces). But spaces where women expect and deserve privacy and safety? No. Sorry. Let's find a different solution. Let's stop pretending there's no other option but to override the wishes of women.
