CGiii Comment

Masculinity is a social construct...so says a [medically constructed] transman. Other arguments presented are just as ludicrous.

A TQ-only space...well, thank you for turning your back on the LGBs - those who fought to where we are now. A clear case of discrimination with the LGBTQ imagined community.
