... over whether their land would continue to remain closed to all but XX-chromosome, female-identifying women after dark. Even during negotiations they weren't going to break the rule, so the four-person delegation stayed at my home (the womb-bearing women, called that only because in this case both still had theirs instead of having had a hysterectomy prior, accompanying the transwomen weren't going to abandon them).
Admittedly, it was their land, and these same people are all part of the Radical Faerie movement, which respects the right for gay men identifying as men to have their own Sanctuaries (although most are inclusive of even the "differently queer"
. They were considered a group to negotiate with because they were somewhat welcoming to transwomen during daytime festivities, they still felt some "mysteries" about childbirth and menstruation could only be understood by people with that anatomy. The reason for the "after dark" restriction in their minds was "safety", which the delegation was trying to address.
They did succeed in getting the group to allow vouched-for transwomen to be allowed to stay after dark, but it still wasn't a victory in overcoming the prejudice against dick-bearers to make the wombyn at that sanctuary feel safe unless a wombyn had vouched for their character.
