Ello, ello.
Because this is a women's space, though not exclusively, I thought it may be an appropriate place to get some casual opinions on this subject.
My school has a women's centre and like many more progressive centres of this kind it is in the process of developing a trans-inclusive policy and atmosphere. This is of particular interest to me because I am dating a trans-girl and I find it a little ridiculous that I am accepted by such groups whereas she is not. I'm a tomboy and the majority of my close, long-term friends are men - she deals with women's issues at least as much as I do.
So what does everyone think about trans-inclusion policies in gender-specific organizations? Do you think we're ready to stop segregating in this way or are stereotypes and transphobia still so prevalent that this is an unlikely step?
