Natalee B Fitness's women-only gym isn't transphobic - just misguided

The article discusses the controversy surrounding Natalee Barnett's decision to open a women-only gym, Fit Factory, in Liverpool, which excludes transgender women. The gym's policy has been criticized as transphobic, but the article argues that while the intention might not be to discriminate, the approach is misguided. It highlights that the gym's policy stems from a desire to provide a safe space for women who have experienced trauma or feel uncomfortable around men, but it fails to recognize transgender women as women. Critics argue that this exclusion is based on outdated and harmful stereotypes about transgender people. The piece also touches on the broader debate about inclusivity versus the right to create specific safe spaces, suggesting that the gym's policy might inadvertently perpetuate transphobia by not acknowledging the diversity within the category of "woman."
