It Is Not Transphobic to Treat Trans Men as Men

I have recently been hearing about multiple instances of trans men and occasionally others condemning certain women's spaces - spaces that include and are co-organized by trans women - as transphobic and even campaigning against them because they don't include trans men.

What the f---, guys?

It seems like most women's spaces are falling into two categories these days:

They are either conservative anti-trans spaces that actively exclude all trans people. Or they are progressive trans-positive spaces that decide that the most progressive thing they could do would be to dismantle themselves as women-only and become gender neutral.

With either option, trans women are denied access to women-only space.
