My experience at San Francisco’s Women’s BDSM Group The Exiles. The policy here is that anyone who does not identify as a man is welcome. That is revolutionary as it explicitly includes a male-bodied GenderQueer like Jasper. By barring the man identified, and incuding everyone else this group is redefining women’s space. Not only was it completely inclusive of me but it was also inclusive of bissexual women and straight women. Many of the groups who traditionally get excluded in in lesbian spaces which define the male-born as their ‘other’.
Yay, Yay, Yay! this is a big deal. The Exiles has set the bar for inclusive space.
