Given these facts, it is more than reasonable to think you were lying about not knowing who they were. And, given your well-known, hardcore traditional Catholic stance on...everything, you have every motivation to be too ashamed to openly admit to knowing who two porn actors (especially transgender ones) are.

I'm not even reaching that hard, you put the cookie jar on the floor, left the lid off, and then said "I didn't eat the cookies!". Nobody's parents fell for it when they were kids, and I won't fall for it now.

It's not reasonable. I don't know about other people, but it still looks like you're reaching to accuse another poster of watching or knowing something about transgender porn to shame them.

Which is fucking sad tbqh.

^This, I can't say that's what you were trying to do, but that's exactly what it looked like to me.

why can't homeless shelters have freedom to choose? It's not a bad thing if they get to decide.

Women's shelters actively discriminate against men for their biological sex.

If they can do that to them, then single-sex shelters can discriminate against transgenders for their biological sex.

Choice isn't always the best thing in every situation. Nitpicking between which homeless person to take based on things irrelevant to the fact they're homeless isn't something that should be permitted.

I agree with you on this, there should be transgender shelters, it'd eliminate the issue. Transphobes can be happy that no "icky" transpeople are around them, and trans homeless people can be safe, fed, and have a roof over their heads.

As has been previously pointed out, most homeless shelters are run by religious organizations with proven and recent anti-LGBT+ biases. Secular shelters are extremely few and far in between, especially in areas that aren't Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, DC, or New York. Ones that are actually competent at dealing with the LGBT+ community in a non-shitty way are likely even rarer.


There's nothing suggesting that shelters in general will be allowed to ban any particular people. Only single-sex shelters have been mentioned in the OP, and they already discriminate based on biological sex.

Separation is the pragmatic solution here. All the arguing about who should be allowed where and with who, is wasting time and effort that could be used to help people get out of the streets. Make separate fucking shelters for everyone so all the idpol idiots on all sides can shut the hell up and stop slowing down aid to homeless people.

I just think it's ridiculous that we're wording an issue about people being forced into the streets by economics as if it's socially conservative values that are the main enemy and not the system that makes homeless shelters necessary in the first place. If people are being thrown out of their homes for being trans, we can tackle that too, certainly, but we need to do better than just a social safety net for a system that requires large numbers of people to fail.

Hell yeah. I'm 100% for ending all homelessness.

Women's shelters actively discriminate against men for their biological sex.

If they can do that to them, then single-sex shelters can discriminate against transgenders for their biological sex.

Women's shelters do not discriminate based on gender. They are established for the specific purpose of combating violence against women, and specialize in genered violence and women's services. Trans women undergo gendered violence at rates similar to or above those of cis women. It makes sense having trans women in women's shelters because they're women and experience violence in ways similar to cis women.
