I would've never had to think about how grateful I would be when I was in a maternity ward for extensive hospitalization that there weren't men there present. I'm not a self-conscious type of person by any means so it's not like that, but I definitely was in a fragile state medically given I had to go on magnesium for postpartum preeclampsia and having women who understood the fragility of that was helpful in a stressful environment... I am not a fan of hospitals, I have learned.

I just can't believe how some people are so unconcerned about women's feelings on these issues and act like we don't really care about them, that it's just an excuse to bash trans people. There are so many instances, just like your own example where women are in very vulnerable positions and really need or would prefer female only care and space
