Straight women need to stop taking over queer spaces (MegjonesA)
Put down your vodka crans, take off those penis hats and listen up. I have a simple request for you: “Can you please leave?”
Furthermore, cis straight people have an established history of taking things that don’t belong to them . So, before you head to the club, think about the space you’ll be occupying. Gay bars were built as safe havens where queer and trans folks could meet, cruise, organize and love. They still play that role today.
Attacks against queer people aren’t a thing of the past—hate crimes targeting LGBTQ folks were found to be most violent in Canada, according to 2010 data. And the Trans Pulse Project, which surveyed more than 400 transgender people in Ontario, found that 20% of respondents had been physically or sexually assaulted. To be visibly queer, especially after dark, is to be a target. To be visibly trans, especially transfeminine, is even more dangerous.
