so, if gender is just a choice, should i be allowed in exclusive gendered spaces, then?

well, it's 2018. why are we still gendering spaces?

so, what i'd actually tell you is this: if you're intent on gendering the space, i can almost guarantee you i don't want to enter it.

but, i believe in democracy, which means i believe it's up to the people that inhabit the space to determine entry on whatever criteria they want, and not up to a legislature to enforce rules from a distance under the threat of coercion or force. i'd just ask them to question the value of their criteria...and to recognize the consequences of being exclusive....

any group that wishes to be exclusive can always be mirrored by a group that aims for inclusion.

now, that said, there's some spaces where exclusion does make some sense, and i would respect whatever decisions exist, should i be excluded, for whatever reason. but, i'd also probably be able to figure that out on my own, without having to be told.
